Jacquie Phelan pioneered the early days of modern women’s mountain biking and introduced some of the first women-specific mountain biking camps and clinics. “Even new riders who may not have a clue who Jacquie is or know about the early mountain biking scene have been positively affected by the advocacy and example that Jacquie championed in the early years.” Read the whole interview here! #WOMBATS #JacquiePhelan #mtb Happy International Women's Day!

#womenshistorymonth #womencycling #womenofcycling One of our phenomenal Board Members, Erika Cramer, was featured in Forbes!
Read all about how she and her partners at How Women Invest support and invest in women-led companies. A pioneer of black cycling, Nelson Vails, "The Cheetah", became the first African-American to win an Olympic medal in cycling in 1984.
As a young adult, Vails took a job as a bike messenger, pedaling through the New York City’s congested concrete streets to deliver packages to customers. Eventually Vails' cycling took him to velodromes where he caught the attention of the United States National Team coaching staff. Read more about his rise from bike messenger to Olympic medalist here. #blackhistorymonth #olympics Lookin for the perfect part for a vintage bike build or perhaps a new chain ring for a well loved ride?
