Susan is best described as a "one woman show" and her talent certainly came to life in her essay where she so poignantly described her bike as her "saving grace" during her 40 months of pregnancy, 210 pound weight gain (and weight loss), 48 months of nursing, and the hormonal battlefield she called her body. Her viewpoint is a laugh a minute and surely something most women can relate to.As an advocate for using a bike, Susan invites you into her world. Learn more about how she uses her Trek WSD Madone while tending to four children, performing her one woman shows, event planning and traveling around the world. Her energy is contagious.

From the second she told us, "I stole my first bike," Stephanie had us hooked. But in the end it was her true love affair with cycling that sealed the deal. From how she saved money for six months for a new set of wheels that cost more than her first car, to that Zen feeling she still gets from truing a wheel, it was clear Stephanie Brodegard was one of us. After only two years of riding, she says things like, "I know what cadence means and how many watts is a lot. I can fix a flat in my sleep and tell the difference between a pinch flat and goat head at 50 yards." This is a woman in love with cycling, clearly falling hard and fast. Without a doubt you will be intrigued by Stephanie's cycling journey — her love affair — as well.
