Born on Bastille Day, Jimmy grew up in the Dogtown area of St. Louis, Missouri. Living in a city with such a rich history of cycling Jim was bound to ride. He did and to this day continues to be a tenacious rider. He got to ride the Velodrome back in the day and has since logged tons of miles. Jims' contribution to this team will be his ability to inspire those who have indulged in a past nights excess of good brews and laughs. He is modest at best and always eager to offer a lesson on how to keep the rubber side down. I feel so fortunate to have witnessed one of Jims' hands on demonstrations on the perils of poppin a wheelie with a road bike. Thank you Jim. His good nature and experience are what make Jimmy the true captain of the Fat Tire Hillbillies.
