Max, aka “Big Dill”, is the brains behind this operation. His involvement not only originated Team HOT DOG! but also many other incredible endeavors, including Team HOT DOG! SpokeTAG! and BikeYourself.com. He is deeply admired by his teammates, although they never have the words to express their true feelings.
His deep fascination with recumbent bikes has many times almost alienated him from other fixed gear riders. However when they threaten him over his deep interest, he just remembers that he is about 12 years older, 8 inches taller, and 140lbs heavier, making any potential duels for honor last just under 30 seconds.
