Sarai Snyder

Sarai Snyder – Founder/Editor – Boulder, CO

Growing up in the hills of Kentucky, rolling around on bicycles as a kid meant riding on anything other than paved roads and cement sidewalks.  At the age of 10, with her younger sister Tamar by her side, Sarai would bomb down steep hillsides and launch off of homemade jumps.  Several years later, on her new to her Barracuda, she found that mountain biking was what she was born to do.  Some say, in 1994, she went out for her first mountain bike ride and never came back.

Since then, Sarai has spent her time working in bike shops, consulting for cycling companies, advocating for better cycling infrastructure, promoting bike races and events, commuting, racing, writing and riding.  Her greatest passion, outside of getting in a good spin, is sharing her love of the bike with others.

Michele Zebrowitz

Michele Zebrowitz – Atlanta, GA

Michele started cycling in 2001 after borrowing a road bike from a friend and training for an MS150 ride. She raced a few triathlons, but fell in love with the trails when she got my first mountain bike a few years later. Michele rides for fun, but often that means racing endurance mountain bike races, downhill, dual slalom, cross country, and cyclocross. She is addicted to everything bike-related and ride as often as possible while completing her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Promoting healthy lifestyles to others and meeting like-minded bike friends keeps me smiling!
