The Staff that makes the world go round
Meet Brian
Proprietor & Mechanic
One thing's for sure, I live to ride my bike and I love bikes! I grew up in Minnesota where I obtained my first bike shop job while attending college. As soon as I was done with school, I immediately headed west. I lived in Montana, Utah, and thanks to a great friend I discovered Leadville. I visited a few times, broke my bike, couldn't get it fixed, wondered if a proper bike shop would make it, picked up my belongings in Utah, and opened a bike shop here in town. I've now made Leadville my home for the past 17 years and I'm not leaving! My dad once told me that if you can combine what you love to do with what you do for a living, you'll be just fine, and that is exactly what I am doing.

Mechanic
I took the long way around to get from Carbondale to Leadville. Having worked from the school bike shop and led the bike team to traveling for races and events trying to make a profit; eventually stuffy bike company corporate gigs that I think I learned a lot from. I am happy to call Leadville my home as it takes my breath away for many reasons. Being able to assimilate to Leadville and the Cycles of Life community, as they really inspire me to give back in a positive way. My better part Campy is thankfully always in tow. We are both big believers of loud music and earplugs. My favorite bikes to ride are never lite, as with my beverages.
Meet Abbey
Rental & Gear Guru
I’ve called Leadville home for the past five years, drawn by my love of mountain biking, fat biking, and powder skiing. My passion for biking started as a kid, inspired by my dad, and has grown into a lifelong pursuit. Over the years, I’ve explored trails across Colorado and beyond, tackled races like the Leadville Race Series, and even ventured into bikepacking. For me, biking is all about adventure—whether it’s long rides through mountain passes, ripping on local trails, or discovering new terrain wherever I go. When I’m not riding, I’m spending time with my goofy pup Louie, skiing, crafting mountain-inspired embroidery, or dreaming up my next big trip—hopefully to bike in New Zealand. Life is about embracing the outdoors, pushing limits, and chasing new adventures every chance I get.
