Green Bay Cycles
Making the world a better place one cyclist at a time.
GBC WILL BE CLOSED FROM 1PM, DECEMBER 24 THROUGH NEW YEAR'S DAY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU WHEN WE ARE BACK IN THE SHOP AT 10AM ON JANUARY 2, 2025!
"E" is for Everybody!*
The rise in popularity and usage of electric-assist bikes is here to stay. Come on in and see how we can make your recreational ride, commute or errand run more convenient, fun and environmentally responsible!
*GREEN BAY CYCLES LOVES E-BIKES, BUT WE WILL ONLY PROVIDE SERVICE FOR THOSE BRANDS OF E-BIKES WE SELL. WE DO NOT SERVICE SCOOTERS.
We are on a mission!
Green Bay Cycles is committed to improving our neighborhood, the environment and the wider world by providing increased access to cycling for all, regardless of age or ability. We strive to build a more cycling-friendly community through exceptional service, the sharing of knowledge and a passionate belief in the positive power of time shared seeing the world, near or far, on two wheels.
Meet the Team
Larry Faulkner
Owner / Founder / Head Mechanic
Larry has always believed that the most important customer he has is the one right in front of him. That is the ethic he uses to set the tone at Green Bay Cycles every day. Retired from the US Navy after 20 years as an aircraft mechanic, there is virtually nothing he can't fix.
What he's riding:
Otso Fenrir
Otso Arctodus
Pam Faulkner
Owner / Founder / Sales
Pam's cycling adventures have taken her to Kenya, China, Italy and from one end of the UK to the other (JOGLE). She is our ladies' road ride leader, and has also been known to bake some pretty decent cookies.
What she's riding:
LIV Avail
Otso Voytek
Jake Drechsler
Bike Prep/Stock Management
Jake preps all bikes for their tune ups, including washing them until they gleam. He also makes sure our floor is fully stocked with bikes and accessories. He rides to work from Evanston nearly every day - rain or shine.
What he's riding:
All-City Bomb-pop
Giant XTC
John Foersterling
Mechanic
John can fix just about anything. He spent a few years away from bikes to indulge his passion for repairing cars, specifically Ford Broncos, but has returned to the fold. We are so happy to have his technical competence and good nature in the shop!
What he's riding:
Giant Revolt E+
Otso Warakin Ti
Luke Gorski
Bike Builder/Mechanic
Luke is a Senior at Glenbrook South who started wrenching on his own bikes then got all industrious and started a small repair business out of his garage during the pandemic. When not dressed as a massive bunny, Luke loves to get out on his mountain bike and learning new skills in the shop.
What he's riding:
(we're working on it. . . . )
Megan Murphy
Mechanic
Megan has been all over the map - literally. She is an Army Veteran where she turned wrenches on Strykers. She is newer to the Chicago area (though she lived in the area as a child). Her favorite place to ride is Wildlife Prairie Park in Peoria. We are lucky and excited to have her with us!
What she's riding:
LIV Pique
LIV STP
Anatoliy Plotskiy
Mechanic
Anatoliy comes to us by way of Siberia where he worked in a bike shop and supported riders on the Trans-Siberian Route for seven years, then in another shop in Moscow for an additional four years. He is also our staff photographer and is available for hire!
What he's riding:
Otso Fenrir Fox 34
Jamis Coda XTR
Pedal
VP Community Relations
Just like her name, Pedal is always under our feet. She loves people of all shapes and sizes, but - sadly - is not a fan of other dogs, so she works from home most days in the summer.
You may notice her featured prominently on some of our jersey designs.
What she's riding:
Burley Tail Wagon
Chief (z''l)
2014-2024
Chief was a big lover. He specialized in meeting and greeting, but napping was his true favorite.
He was a sweet man and a beloved member of our family. He was also an excellent ambassador for GBC and the wonderful folks at Chicago French Bulldog Rescue.
He will live on in our hearts forever.
