Kevin Gorman
I was born and raised in the suburbs of Milwaukee, WI. My brothers and I grew up riding cheap bikes - Murrays, Kents, and Huffys - but dreamed of PK Rippers, Redlines, and Mongooses (yes, Mongooses, not Mongeese). I got my first decent bike, a Raleigh 10spd, from Wheel & Sprocket in Hales Corners when I was in the 8th grade.
Kevin
- Owner
- Has the back of an 88 year old man
- Tries to ride and ski as much as possible
- Loves playing (if you want to call it that) his guitars
Kevin - Owner of WebCyclery and WebSkis. He loves riding new trails and is slowly becoming a better bike handler. He has a coupled Moots that he can't wait to take to Europe again. He loves the big climbs, although he is definitely built better for going down them. His mountain bikes keep getting more and more travel, and he's actually riding them more too. Ask him about his Scott Genius 700, or his Moots Routt RSL w/GRX Di2 He also has an old Chris Kelly steel SS CX bike, Scott Dirt Jumper, and Scott Voltage FR710 for hitting the bike park at Mt Bachelor and Whistler.
In the winter Kevin can be found at sun up on the nordic trails of Mt Bachelor and Virginia Meissner, honing his classic technique (he skates too, but prefers classic). Kevin goes back to Wisconsin for the American Birkebeiner, a 55km classic ski race (or 51km skate), every Feb., slowly working his way up through the waves. He has finally skied his way up to Wave 1 (and now he thinks the Elite Wave is within his reach). Kevin has TOO many skis, so if you are 6'+ and weigh about 200 pounds, he might have a great pair for you. Same with size 14 boots (48). He's also recently gone back to the dark side....and started alpine skiing again. His alpine quiver is starting to grow.
The pandemic helped him get back into playing his guitars...and much to his wife's chagrin....his guitar quiver keeps expanding as well. N+1 applies to more than just bikes.
MeanTodd
- Awfully nice for being "Mean"
- Father of the coolest kids in town
- Commuter Extraordinaire
MeanTodd is Kevin's brother and best friend. He's funny as hell. A loving husband and father. When Todd gets to ride he rides, Scott Spark 900 RC, Salsa Mukluk or Realm custom race townie, or Surly Big Dummy. He's given up on nordic skiing, as Alpine is just too much fun. He's in charge of keeping the shop looking good, buying, and vendor relations.
Ed Micek
- Funnier than you think
- Roadie
- Shop Curmudgeon
Ed used to manage the shop, then he moved to more of a part-time role, and now he is back in the "Mr. Manager" role. He is also our Co-Motion and Moots fitting expert. In his spare time he also runs the WebCyclery race team. He rides a Scott Foil and Scott Spark and Moots Routt RSL. He's a roadie, and one of the best crit riders around. But don't let that fool you, he will still kick all of our asses on the dirt. He's also become a nordic geek. He is slowly amassing a quiver of skis, almost as many as Bert! When it comes to Di2 and anything Campy, Ed is all over it.
Zach Casper
- Ski Guru
- Shop Hippie (longest hair)
- All around good guy
After spending the last 15 years or so in Yellowstone, Wyoming (with a few stints at Royal Gorge, Mammoth Lakes, and Girdwood/Alyeska Ski Area), Zach made his way to Bend, and we are sure glad he did. Zach is a great rider, skier, skitech, mechanic, salesman, etc. He ispent many years as nordic ski instructor up at Mt Bachelor in the winter and is our other resident ski and wax guru (aren't we lucky). He's a little bit old school when it comes to bikes - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Zach is currently cruising the trails on a Salsa El Mariachi Titanium Hardtail...because it is awesome and it works!
Shannon Patterson
- Head Mechanic
- Super knowledgeable & logical
- Can chase a creak with the best of them
Shannon came to us from the Bay area (Cupertino Bike Shop) and is the most even keeled mechanic we've ever had on the staff. He rides all sorts of bikes, including his Salsa Spearfish, Niner Sir9, Specialized Stumpjumper, Bontrager SS, Cervelo R3SL, and Schwinn Collegiate, and he even has a unicycle. Shannon is an alpine and tele instructor up at Mt Bachelor in the winters. He is super smart and thorough and is great with technical stuff.
Sue Foster
- Nordic Skier Extraordinaire
- Bad Ass Cyclist
You may recognize Sue from her 12 years of running the Nordic Center up at Mt Bachelor. Sue is helping us out a couple of days a week in the winter. She knows a whole lot about skiing, and she loves gear. She fits right in with our crew.
Bert Hinkley
- Solda Wax Guru
- Tech Geek
- Fittest guy in the shop
Bert is one of our ski & wax gurus. Bert comes to us from Vermont, by way of Colorado and New Hampshire. He taught at Proctor Academy in NH for 30 years (but still considers himself a Vermonter). He speaks a little Czech, and has done his fair share of coaching both alpine and nordic skiing. Bert rides a Scott Foil road bike and a Ritchey Swiss Cross for his gravel bike. Bert has a whole crap-ton of skis - cold skis, warm skis, wet skis, dry skis, fast skis, slow skis. etc. If you wanna get technical, come talk to Bert. Bert tried to retire a couple years ago, but somehow we were lucky enough to talk him in to working 2-3 days a week in the winter. As a side note, Bert's son was a combined skier and on the US Ski team.
Silas Bell
- From the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia
- Staff Naturalist
- Amateur Musician
- New to Bend in 2022....still learning the trails
Silas came to us from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. He has been mountain biking for a few years now and loves riding his Scott Genius. You may also catch him riding on the road on his Cannondale Six13. He loves riding, hiking/backpacking, playing his guitars, and any excuse to play outside. If he's not riding, you may find him chasing butterflies or trying to ID all the plants, birds, and insects of Central Oregon.
Chris Daube
- Comes to us from Duluth, MN
- Spreadsheet Wizard
- Shop Fatbiker (but not a fat biker)
Chris has joined us after a long career in Municipal Government. He's built his last few bikes (before working in a shop). Chris knows a lot about fat bikes and cold weather riding. He also loves riding his indoor trainer.
Mary Lund
- Our Philly Connection
- Retired school teacher
- Always willing to help
Mary joined us right before the pandemic...and then everything shut down. Luckily, she's back and kickin' ass. She's new to the bike & ski industry, but is learning fast. She rides, she runs, she skis....and she makes great waffles and other treats!
