The Artist:
Larry Banuelos was born in Santa Cruz, California.
Art and cycling have always been an intricate part of his life, woven into his youth where the passion started. As a boy he was always on his road bike where his love for the sport flourished. He soon took to mountain biking, and with that came the need to repair, assemble & maintain the more complex modern components. His craftsmanship combined with the with the knowledge of all the inner workings of the bicycle allowed him to develop the Artcycle concept.
Artistically, he was always able to see things in his mind and able to implement those things to many mediums. Artcycles was created by merging his two loves into functional art. He puts his whole heart in each piece and truly makes his craft a labor of love.
