"I started cycling in 1980. I commuted to Cal Poly 3 days a week from Atascadero. I began racing triathlons after I finished Cal Poly in 1982. I raced as an age group athlete for 3 years before going pro in 1985. I raced professionally for five years, from 1985 until 1990. I managed Sunstorm Cyclery in Atascadero from 1988 until 1998, and started K-Man Cyclery in 1999. I have two beautiful children - Samantha and Kameron. My bride of 20+ years is Robyn, my rock solid, love of my life. My future plan is to hand over the shops to my manager, Steven, when our building in Atascadero (K-Man World Headquarters) is paid off. My ride in life has been nothing short of amazing and I thank God each and every day for all that I have. Thank you all for your continued support, and together we will create some amazing fruit. Ride on!!"

"I got my start as a punk kid riding BMX bikes, and I have now been a bicycle mechanic for over half my life, and have worked at the shop since 2001. I ride everything - primarily mountain bikes these days, with some road, BMX, and cyclocross mixed in. I am proficient in working on all types of bikes, and I love what I do. Breaker is the name of my trusty trail-dog, and we like all bikes, ride all trails, and own a quiver of bicycles. I try to diversify my riding to keep my skills honed on anything bike-related. I live a beautiful life with my rescue-dog Breaker, right here in Atascadero."

"I've been riding pedal bikes for as long as I can remember. I started off on BMX and then graduated to big-boy bikes at about the age of 18 and it's been downhill ever since. Haha! I've been in the bicycle industry since I was 15 and I'm addicted to it. I don't really see what else I want to do with my life other than ride, travel, and be with my family and son. I enjoy racing and going on adventures to new places with my awesome crew of friends and that's what I plan to keep doing. Other than bikes, I quite enjoy dark beer and burritos. Cheers!"

"They call me Scoot, I'm 21 years old and just like my fellow bike shop friends, I have been enjoying bicycles as long as I can remember. As a kid I grew up learning how to ride BMX and motorcycles, so the tranisition to riding mountain bikes was seamless. I got a mountain bike when I was 16, and then a job from Kman when I was 18, and I am now racing with Team Kman in enduro & downhill events. My favorite part about being involved in the bike industry is getting to meet all kinds of crazy people that share the same passion as I do. The technology on bikes these days is getting very advanced and I am thankful to have Steven Anzel showing me the ropes. I look forward to many more rad years to come with the K-Man crew."
