About this listen
In the first episode of outside is Magic, I sit down with Portland-based frame builder Ira Ryan—founder of Ira Ryan Cycles. We talk about what it means to build something with your hands, the balance between creativity and responsibility, and the lifelong process of becoming a good human.
Ira opens up about his journey from bike messenger to master craftsman, how he stays inspired, and why living on a human scale still matters. It’s honest, reflective, and full of perspective from someone who’s spent the last 20 years shaping bikes—and life—with intention.
