POSTPONED!!!
Pam's 2022 Women V Cancer Challenge
Ride - Sri Lanka HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Due to the on-going civil unrest in Sri Lanka and the shortage of food, fuel and medical supplies, it has been decided that this challenge will be postponed. Any donations already received will be happily refunded unless the donor prefers to apply the funds to the new dates (to be determined) or to an alternate challenge should this offering be permanently cancelled.

Meet the Team
Larry Faulkner
Owner / Founder / 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
Giant Revolt E+
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 road ride leader, and has also been known to bake a mean cookie.
What she's riding:
Liv Langma
Liv Avail
Otso Voytek

Perkins
Head Mechanic Extraordinaire
Nate has been turning wrenches for about 25 years. His commitment to cycling extends well beyond the shop - he is an avid mountain and trail rider and leads our Tuesday Fat Bike rides.

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.

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!

Giant Revolt E+
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
Jonathan Kolovos
Mechanic/Bike Builder
Jonathan (aka "Yanni") is a high school senior with a passion for riding and some seriously solid wrench skills. He founded and heads up the New Trier HS Mountain Bike Club and leads multi-day rides for his scout troop in all of his spare time.
What he's riding:
Otso Warakin

Giant TCX
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.
