Joel
With over 20 years of mechanical and industry experience at bike shops in Charlottesville, Chicago, New York, and Oakland, Joel finally came home to Richmond to put down roots. After working at Re-Cycles for 5 years, in 2018 Joel became owner of the local bike shop and has since been making all your bike dreams come true.
Ethan
Ethan joined us in 2023 from Portsmouth, VA. He quickly fit right into our family here at ReCycles. He feels equally at home rebuilding a three-speed hub as part of a vintage restoration as he does dialing in a Di2 drivetrain or tuning/troubleshooting a modern commuter. When he’s not wrenching and making people smile at ReCycles, he’s adventuring with his son, playing soccer, and debating the finer points of Tolkien and Lucas.
Skylar
Skylar is a pro service technician at Re-Cycles. A graduate of United Bicycle Institute, his mechanical experience started as a helicopter mechanic in the Navy. He has done plenty of overnight trips in the local area with hopes of completing some longer and more challenging rides. He is constantly upgrading his personal stable of bikes, and is eager to get yours dialed in next. His favorite thing to do on the bike is to find new local trails.
Tyler
Tyler loves getting folks on bikes, whether young or old or in between. An ardent commuter, traveler and Enduro rider- cycling and staying fit is a big part of Tyler’s lifestyle. In his words: ‘Cycling is great for the mind body soul, it’s about having fun and being present in the moment’. When he’s not helping customers or organizing the shop he’s dreaming about the next trip to Bryce, Snowshoe and Thunder Mtn Bike Parks. He’s currently piecing together a DH rig ‘big big bike’ to add to the ever-expanding stable of mountain bikes. Favorite local single tracks include: JT trail, Buttermilk, Blue Jay Way to Moonshine jumpline and Happy Birthday.
