Curtis Whatley
Bicycles have been such a big part of Curtis Whatley’s life that he’s never had a driver’s license. A regular volunteer at custom bike shows since the Austin NAHBS in 2011, Curtis has become an industry insider. At his home in Texas he works as a glass sculptor, and sometimes as a mechanic at the local bike shop.
