Meet Our Team
We are HERE to get you out THERE!
At Bike Therapy, we have an amazing team who truly love bikes and love getting more people riding. We love talking about bikes, our favorite places to ride and everything in between. We love to fix bikes and get you pedaling out there on the roads or trails. We especially love turning newbies and kids onto this sport that has so many positives, not least of which is that everyone can do it during a pandemic! We can't wait to meet you!
