Mosko Nomads are riders who are active in their local riding community, who use our gear, and who have volunteered to share their experiences with others. Many have been friends & supporters of Mosko since our company began. Nomads frequently represent Mosko at regional events and gatherings when we can't be there in person. If you have a question, find a Nomad who has a similar bike/rack combination to yours, and send them a note using the "message" link below.
If you're interested in becoming a Nomad please tell us a bit about yourself, your bike, and the type of riding you enjoy. Also send a brief bio and pic (formatted like the ones below) to nomads@moskomoto.com.
