Kerry Kruempelstaedter, Financial Director

She enjoys commuting around town on the bike paths, pushing herself to climb mountains, sneaking up in the hills for quick overnight bike-camping, and, generally, exploring and experiencing the world by bike. Biking brings Kerry such a fulfilling sense of joy that she’ll never give it up again. Kerry enjoys the opportunity to share this passion with others.

Joey worked in various capacities in the corporate world in LA and NYC before moving to Boulder. Joey grew up riding bikes and still feels like a kid whenever he throws his leg over a bike. When not riding bikes Joey enjoys skiing and camping.
John O’Kelly, Mechanic
My friends and I used to ride bikes everywhere as kids. I got my first real road bike in high school. I raced bikes on the road through college in Tucson, AZ. I did most of my own wrenching during that time. Much later on, I ended up in Colorado. I heard about Community Cycles and started volunteering in October of 2012. After putting in close to 1000 volunteer hours, I was brought on part time. It’s been a blast!
Will P, Mechanic and Learn-A-Bike (LAB)Technician
Will has a soft spot for teaching and helping people learn new things, especially bikes. He loves it when it is crazy busy in the shop and gets to juggle 5-6 projects at once.
Katie Walkden, Sales Associate
Katie likes old bikes. She can be found most days in the shop working at the front desk or on one of her vintage bicycle projects.
Sean Obrien, Fleet Mechanic
Sean joined Community Cycles in 2014 as a bike ambassador. Before moving to Boulder Sean worked as an elementary Art Teacher in the Chicago Public Schools and as a bike messenger in Chicago. He left his car in 2012 and have been commuting by bike ever since and couldn’t be happier. He is currently teaching art in BVSD and working as a bike ambassador, educating and equipping cyclists with knowledge and gear to stay safe and law abiding in Boulder. He is looking forward to instructing summer camp and teaching a new generation of cyclists how to become more independent and knowledgeable on their bikes!
Bruce Piggott, Earn A Bike Coordinator
I became a dedicated cyclist over a decade ago and my first contact with Community cycles was donating a bike in 2008. I became a member and volunteer in 2014 and have never looked back. I thoroughly enjoy all my time spent at CC especially when I’m helping another cyclist repair, maintain or improve their bike.
Melissa Newton, Project Coordinator
Melissa recently completed her Masters in Liberal Sciences and decided to combine her passion for cycling with her passion for helping others. In her free time she competes in triathlons and spends time in the mountains with her furry companion. Melissa loves how friendly and helpful everyone is at CC no matter your skill level!
