Q: How long have you been working for Shimano? I know that much of what you do for them is confidential, but can you tell us about any projects you have done with them in the past?Ī: Officially since 1995. I worry about her getting injured yet that's just part of girls hitting themselves while skating as hard as they can. Less riding yet it's a great workout, she is getting really fit. My wife Kim is totally into roller derby these days. We like to travel and bike touring we like the most.
I renovated an old "barn" and now it's my dream shop and office. Working on our old house also takes plenty of my time. When we get snow, and I hope soon, I ski XC skate and alpine DH. I also work Tioga for design and testing consultant for tires. The VooDoo brand is doing very well in the UK though. A bit of frame design yet not that much these days, unfortunately.

Throughout the years, I knew that many people used the ATBs he designed as commuters, so I wanted to get his take on real-world bicycles and bicycling. The best ATB tires I have ridden were designed by Murray, and the bikes he designed for Kona were always among my favorites at the bike shop where I worked in the 90s. He is also highly accomplished as a bicycle and bicycle component designer.
I have met him a few times, at races and shows, and he is one of those guys who stands out as someone I would like to get to know better.
Joe Murray is both a legendary ATB racer and a really nice guy.
