Bookkeeper, Kerry Kruempelstaedter, rediscovered bicycling as an adult and loves the sense of freedom, fun, and physical-capability that came with it. She loves cavorting around town on the bike paths, pushing herself to climb mountains, sneaking up in the hills for quick overnight bike-camping, and exploring the world by bike. On Thursdays, you can find Kerry riding with the Thursday Night Cruisers. Biking brings Kerry such a fulfilling sense of joy and she'll never give it up again.

Our second lead shop mechanic, Curt Kruper, was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA.  He tried Penn State but found the army and navy more fun.  He finally ended up in Boulder and began working on bikes.

Board Treasurer Amy Long is a 13-year Colorado resident, mother to the Mitchman and Sarahgirl, an avid cyclist, aspiring triathlete, and burgeoning cross country skier.  She is a Financial Analyst in Boulder, and she looks forward to applying her skills to the benefit of Community Cycles.

Our board president, Gary Matthews, has a long history in service to Colorado non-profits, working for Naropa University, the Women's Bean Project and the Shambhala Mountain Center, before taking his current position at BCAP.

Gary is, also, on the board of Ashoka Credit Union, a banking institution that serves the local Buddhist community, and is treasurer of Team Colorado, an umbrella organization for gay and lesbian athletic clubs.

When he has free time, Gary, takes advantage of all that Colorado offers in the way of recreation. He cycles the mountains and plains, mountain bikes the trails along the Front Range and competes in local triathlons, working hard not to come in last.

Wanda Pelegrina Caldas has never owned a valid driver's license. She believes that car culture is at the root of

many a societal problem. When not dreaming of car free communities with streets converted to gardens, Wanda has both feet planted firmly on her pedals.

Some may not imagine that under the guise of mild-mannered family outreach coordinator at a local elementary school, lives many a layer of bicycle grease and that beneath her no nonsense attitude is a girl who loves life on two wheels.

Wanda's done all kinds of exciting things on her bike including moving from her old apartment to her current home. In 2006, Wanda was GO Boulder Bike Commuter of the Year.

Wanda's outlook on life: Gas is for bad digestion and everyday is bike to work day!

Rich Points became a car free bike commuter when he moved to Boulder in 1998 to attend the masters program in Environmental Leadership at Naropa University.

Currently, he is executive director of Community Cycles.

At the conclusion of her 2 year contract with the City of Boulder, Sue Prant, joins Community Cycles as our director of Development, Advocacy Programs and Walk & Bike Month, bringing over fifteen years experience in bicycling programming and non-profit administration.

For nine years, Sue was Executive Director of the Greater Philadelphia Bicycle Coalition. Previously, she's worked as a bicycle planner for engineering firms in Philadelphia and Denver; recently with the City of Boulder as GO Boulder's Walk & Bike Week Coordinator and Outreach Program Specialist.

Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator, Brett Schager, is new to the cycling world.  His introduction began when he went through the earn-a-bike program and loved Community Cycles so much that he continued volunteering.  He started without knowing how to change a flat, and has since learned a great deal of bike mechanics skills.

Although he received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and English and got a teaching license, he now has a job as the Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator for Community Cycles, driven by his enthusiasm for non-profits.

Archer Sully has been working on bikes since his long-vanished teenaged years, starting with turning Schwinn Sting-Rays into BMX bikes and choppers. A software engineer by training, as well as an amateur astronomer, he has been teaching people about many topics for most of his life.
