Originally from the midwest and now living in Salt Lake City, Utah with her big-eared pup, Finn, Erin Nelson has been riding bikes for as long as she can remember.

A year and a half ago she was hit by a car while riding, which changed the course of her relationship with cycling and presented a whole slew of mental and physical challenges to sort through. In the time since, she's worked to rebuild her relationship with bikes while navigating injury, surgery, PT, and physical and mental recovery.
