My name is Michal Migurski. I work on product at Remix. I used to work at Mapzen. And played the role of CTO for Code for America. Until December 2012, I was technology head at Stamen. A San Francisco design and development studio focused on data visualization. Last winter, I first encountered the new work being done in legislative redistricting and wrote about it in a blog post here.

The quadrennial randonneur cycling event known as Paris Brest Paris starts this weekend. The event starts in the Parisian suburb of Saint Quinten-en-Yvelines at the national velodrome, and heads west to the port city of Brest, where one turns around and goes back to Paris.

Our emphasis is on a more relaxed and comfortable style of riding, and on refined bikes that are comfortable on a century ride, an inn-to-inn tour, or even on a ramble down your favorite dirt road.
