Meet Megan

Commuting/alternative transportation, and quickly realized that riding allowed me to see a lot more than hiking or running! I later began working at a small local bike shop in 2007 and quickly fell in love with the weird and wonderful world of Cycling.

Riding a century again after recovering from a hit-and-run in 2012.

Bikepacking trips where nothing goes exactly as planned, but you wouldn't change a thing when you've finished!

Road, MTB, CX, Gravel, Touring, Bikepacking

A 2011 Jamis Eclipse Reynolds 853 with those American Classic 420 Aeros, I still dream about that one.
What’s your favorite thing about working at TPC?
Our incredibly wide selection of brands, builds, and styles of bikes. The amazing group of people that calls TPC home. Giving a second life to incredible bikes. Sharing the stoke about past races, future ride plans, and the excitement of new bike day with riders from all over is awesome!
