Attorney Evan Freirich, has operated his private practice in Boulder since 1989. Once a bike mechanic, always a bike mechanic...Evan's latest passion is an electric hybrid bicycle, which helps with his mountain commute.

Ellen Hall’s cycling career began in a Burley trailer, graduating to the back of her parents’ tandems to her own two wheels. Growing up, Ellen, the oldest of five, did plenty of bicycle touring with her family.

Since rolling solo, Ellen’s participated in almost every type of bike sport - traditional road and XTERRA off road triathlons, track, road, cyclo-cross, and mountain, cross country, slalom, short track…you name it. She even raced Indiana University's Little 500 race on which Breaking Away is based.

Off bike, she’s just as involved in the cycling scene; Ellen’s done event promotion, directed teams, built trails, coordinated and chaired various sponsorship and volunteer efforts. She got her first bike shop job in high school and now, Ellen’s the Marketing Manager at CatEye.

Ellen has never owned a car opting to live in areas that are conducive to bike commuting which she does on a daily basis.

racer, ultra-distance mountain biker, and Ironmantriathlete, Brett has spent more time on a bike than an L.A. commuter spends in a car, averaging between 5,000 and 10,000 miles a year.

An aerospace engineer by day, Brett enjoys nothing more than a frosty barley-pop while working on bikes with the Big Ring Brews crew and spreading the good word about living in a cycling based community.

Brett is still trying to figure out Rich's "The Revolution will not be motorized" sticker, but thinks it might make him look like a cool bike messenger if he put one on his basket. Hey Rich... where can I get one of those?

Wanda Pelegrina Caldas has never owned a valid driver's license. She believes that car culture is at the root of

many a societal problem. When not dreaming of car free communities with streets converted to gardens, Wanda has both feet planted firmly on her pedals.

Some may not imagine that under the guise of mild-mannered family outreach coordinator at local elementary school, lives many a layer of bicycle grease and that beneath her no nonsense attitude is a girl who loves life'on two wheels.

Wanda's done all kinds of exciting things on her bike including moving from her old apartment to her current home. In 2006, Wanda was GO Boulder Bike Commuter of the Year.

Wanda's outlook on life: Gas is for bad digestion and everyday is bike to work day!
