About us

Why bikes
Why bikes
FREEDOM: For many of us, our bicycle was our first glimpse at freedom. It allowed us to expand our accessible world from our backyard, to our friends and local businesses. This freedom can engage new opportunities for work, play, and happiness.
PHYSICAL and MENTAL HEALTH: There have been many studies proving the benefits of exercise. Bicycling engages the whole body while freeing the mind. Just riding on familiar streets with the wind in the hair is enough to ease the mind and transport you to another place, even for a short time.
ENERGIZING COMMUNITY: With a sense of belonging comes a reactive sense of pride. Where happiness thrives, so does an energy among the community. Whether it is attracting more tourism, watching a supported team race, or just helping bring the community together for an event, bicycles give a push towards promoting economy.

Trent SandersThe captainMoreTrent SandersThe captainTrent is writing this right now about himself. His interest in travel and helping people is turning into an obsession and everytime he gets home, he starts dreaming about the next trip and how much more impact he can have in the future. His true belief (my true belief) is that the only things worth doing are things that will leave positive energy in the world long after we ride into the mountains in the sky. -
Andrew WallaceThe operatorMoreAndrew WallaceThe operatorAndrew was there at some foundational times in the history of the organization. His priorities in life seem to be: Family, Friends, Dogs, Travel, and Work. Although, if in order of priority, dogs would probably be first. His commitment to the vision of the Mutt Society and his support over the years has been incredible. -
