How did you get into cycling? A former coworker who was a bodybuilder, owned her own gym , and participated in triathlons all the time. She talked about MTB a lot and it sounded so fun. In fact, her and her partner went with me to Pedal Power in Woodstock to help me purchase my first Mountain Bike when I was 21. Good ol' Norco Bushpilot :)

Alison (she/her) - Community Bike Mechanic
How did you get into cycling? I grew up riding my bike with my siblings on rail trails, along the waterfront, and in our neighbourhood. I also rode to school every day in high-school. In my mid-teens I bought my first gravel bike and fell in love with bike packing. As for learning bike mechanics, I grew up tinkering with the bikes in my parents shed and learned a lot through trial and error. Eventually, I got into the cycling industry in 2021 and have worked at a couple shops since then.
What is your favourite type of riding? Gravel, road, and bike packing!
