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

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:
Kona Unit Single Speed
Giant Revolt E+
Otso Warakin Ti

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:
Giant Revolt Advanced Pro 0

Dave Gaede

Mechanic/Bike Builder

Dave is a printer by trade, but a bike builder, rider and mechanic at heart.  Even his return to his "real" job couldn't keep him out of the shop.  He's with us on Saturdays and we love him for it!  When he isn't in the shop, you can likely find him out on the North Branch Trail.

What he's riding:
Cannondale Synapse
Giant TCR
Storck Absolutist 1.0

Chief

VP Community Relations

Chief is a big lover. He specializes in meeting and greeting, but napping is his true favorite. He's very good about letting Pedal have her way.  Just like his name, Chief is rough and tumble, but decidedly humble.

What he's riding:
Burley Tail Wagon

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. She's a bossy Frenchie.  You may notice her featured prominently on our jerseys.

What she's riding:
Burley Tail Wagon
