Meet The Crew
Erik
What I do at the shop: Owner
Years of experience riding/in the industry: I have been riding for more years than I can remember. I started out with BMX street and freestyle riding and eventually transitioned to mountain bikes. Once I started racing those, it wasn't long before I got a road bike so I would not get my butt kicked as bad.
How I got into cycling and working at a shop: I started volunteering at Chain Reaction Cycles in Evans, GA when I was 13 years old. The owner, Phil, made me write a letter about why I wanted to learn and work in a bicycle shop. I haven't regretted that decision since. Thanks, Phil!
Favorite types of riding: Mountain biking is my all-time favorite
Other hobbies and interests: Dirtbiking
Jen
What I do: Co-Owner
Years of experience: I started road riding with my dad in 2003 and had my first bike shop job in 2006, as a part-time gig to help pay my way through school at Clemson University. I've been hooked on the world of cycling ever since.
How I got into it: I started riding as an alternate means of fitness when I sustained a hip fracture in high school from running track and cross-country. Before long, I had a road bike and was dabbling in triathlons and road races. I met this handsome dude named Erik, who convinced me to join him on the trails. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with it. I love spending time on the road bike, but my heart is with riding and racing on the mountain bike.
Favorite types of riding: I ride road, mountain and gravel, but mountain biking would be my favorite!
Other hobbies and interests: Dirtbiking, reading (fantasy romance!)
