Ryan VanDuzer has been one of Community Cycles’ biggest supporters since  the beginning of our efforts five years ago.  During that time, Ryan has shared  his gift of video production and has helped us spread the message of our work  to the greater community.   He has helped teach our Family Learning Center  after school bike class and rode two long-distance bike rides to raise money for  Community Cycles. 

While Ryan’s efforts to support Community Cycles are extraordinary, his love of  bicycles goes much deeper. From cruising on Thursday night to helping with  bike moves to using his bicycle for everyday life, Ryan has never had a driver  license and has found a way to be a world traveler without ever sitting down  behind the wheel of a private automobile. Ryan also is  a firm believer in  spreading his love and joy for cycling to others. That, more than anything else,  makes Ryan Community Cycles first ever Cyclist of the Year. Through his films, outreach, travels and volunteer work, Ryan shares why bikes make him so happy and explains to others how even just a little bit of time spent on a bike can make you smile for the whole day. We cannot think of a better person to name Community Cycles 1st annual Cyclists of the Year.
