Clark Rider, Board Member
With that last name , it’s no wonder Clark ended up in the cycling community. A Boulder native, Clark returned home in 2014 after almost twenty years in the Pacific Northwest, including a stint managing the sustainability program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle. Currently the Sustainable Transportation Coordinator for CU Boulder, he supports the University’s transportation demand management efforts.
As a daily bike commuter, bike racer, occasional driver, father of two, and longtime Boulder residents, Clark sees the importance of a strong organization like Community Cycles advocating for safer streets and a stronger bicycle and sustainable transportation community. He’s glad to be able to put his skills to use for that mission.

Steve Cepek, Board Member
I love Bikes! Mountain Biking is what brought me to Colorado 20 some years ago from the sunny shores of Cleveland. I’ve been in Bicycle retail for 2 decades and have passion for all things cycling. I’m lucky enough to have ridden everything from track bikes to downhill bikes and most styles in between. I love helping riders get to their next level, next ride or next adventure. I’m also pretty good at getting rid of aches and pains associated with riding.
