We're a community effort held together by a core of dedicated volunteers.

CC Board

Josh Brown has been riding and building one bike or another for over 25 years, dragging bicycles in various states of disrepair home for much of that time much to the chagrin of his parents, roommates, and even the EPA.

He's spent more time in Boulder than anywhere else in his life (6 years), and is finally getting around to calling it home with a little help from Community Cycles.

He spends most of his time riding a bike, learning about silk-screening, cooking vegan food and the internet..

Josh volunteers at Community Cycles on a variety of levels including; mechanic, instructor, bike repair stand builder, fund raiser, bike geek and board member.

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.

Anthony Hannagan started his non-profit "Townie Bicycles" in 2004 and collected enough bikes to raise $6500 for the Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA). After he renamed it "Boulder Community Cycles" in 2005, Anthony moved out of his back yard into a 2-car garage on North Broadway in March 2006.

In hopes of solidifying a community-oriented volunteer team and bicycle recycling operation, he wrote and submitted form 1023 to the IRS requesting tax-exemption for Community Cycles under section 501(c)3. During a turbulent, busy and exciting summer 2006, he joined efforts with the other members of the Community Cycles you know today.

Through a University grant program, Anthony was able to follow our first Africa shipment into Ghana, and study the Village Bicycle Project there. Please ask him more about this!

Brett Landin may be a recent addition to Community Cycles, but has been a year-round bike commuter for 13 years (including winters in Minnesota). A passionate adventure 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!

At the conclusion of her 2 year contract with the City of Boulder, Sue Prant, joins Community Cycles bringing over fifteen years experience in bicycling programming and non-profit administration.

For nine years, Sue was Executive Director of the Greater Philadelphia Bicycle Coalition. Previously, she's worked as a bicycle planner for engineering firms in Philadelphia and Denver; recently with cthe Cty of Boulder as GO Boulder's Walk & Bike Week Coordinator and Outreach Program Specialist.

Sue has served on numerous local and national boards including SkiCarpool, Association of Bicycle and Pedestrian Professionals, America Bikes, and the Thunderhead Alliance.
