Meet Our People

Chris has been with Bike-On for close to 13 years and has worked his way up from tinkering in Scott’s backyard to co-owner & Chief executive officer. When not working, you can find him swinging some clubs, and doing some yard work with his beagles rolling around, all while paying close attention to whatever New England sports team is playing that day. What does he enjoy most about being on this team? “Knowing I have the opportunity to be a part of something that can change the world, one customer at a time”.

Vanessa fell into the event planning industry after college and has planned scientific conferences, weddings, national trade shows, virtual shows, etc… You name it, she’s probably dabbled in it. When she’s not working, she’s probably with her family of two beagles, baby boy, and her other half or exploring the food scene. In the event/marketing industry, it’s always been super rewarding to see your hard work come to life, but it’s that much more rewarding when you get to make a positive impact in so many lives!

Kyle is known as the ‘Dwight Schrute’ of Bike-On for his attention to detail, punctuality, and obscure knowledge of everything. He loves working with the community and  sharing his knowledge about the industry and the adaptive community. When he’s not working (which is very rare!) you can find him riding his recumbent, playing with his 90-pound bundle of joy mixed breed dog named Aurora, a lap dog in a pit bull’s body who will attack you with love. He loves working with like-minded people that want to help the adaptive community grow!

Stacey’s official title is Manager, Process and Operations, but she is also our supplier of sweets, a lover of all animals, and keeps our headquarters in check. After working in a variety of industries over the years, she saw an opening with us and she’s been a great fit! When not working or hanging with the love of her life Kitten, you can find her going to concerts, baking up a storm, hiking, or enjoying a lazy Sunday.

Doyle is most passionate about getting products to customers that are appropriate for them and work. There’s a special feeling when you’re able to help someone with their independence and activity level! When he’s not working, you can find Doyle riding his handcycle, on the tennis courts, or relaxing watching baseball.

Dave is another one of our sales associates and an avid mountain biker, water skier, and all things active! You may recognize him as he’s been with us for quite some time and is a full-time recreational therapist with our friends at @nepassage! We’re glad he made the switch from architecture to therapeutic recreational studies because he’s able to do what he loves: plan events, help people, and run some awesome adaptive programs.

Alicia comes to our team after spending the past 11 years as a competitive handcyclist on the US Paralympics Cycling National team. When not riding, you can find her gardening, trying to learn how to sew, or fixing something around her house. She already fits right in with our team due to her work ethic, knowledge, experience, and because coffee would be impossible for her to give up!

Ed comes to us with years of consulting and sales experience as well as a passion for figuring out the optimal solution to an inquiry or challenge for both customers and coworkers. His favorite part of being on the team? “The fact that the products we sell improve the lives of the disabled and being surrounded by smart, young people who are passionate about what they’re doing” When he’s not working, he’s hanging out with his daughter, Paddy his furry best friend, and of course handcycling!

Erik comes to us with over fifteen years of handcycling experience! When not working, catch him handcycling, monoskiing, or hanging with his wife Beth and their three pets, Herman, Macy, and Jane.

Introducing Omar Benitez, a wheelchair basketball player, whose journey has taken him to the Rollin Knicks team in New York. With a string of achievements under his belt, including NWBA championships in 2018 and 2019, Omar is killing it in the world of adaptive sports. But his passion doesn’t stop on the basketball court. Omar is also on the Patriots Wheelchair Football team through Move United. Beyond his impressive athletic feats, Omar is known for his generous spirit, and is always eager to help others discover and relish the joys of adaptive sports.

Katie’s a lover of adaptive sports and adventure and has been handcycling and playing wheelchair rugby for five years. You’ll find her exploring Colorado in her handcycle, camping, fishing, or enjoying hiking trails as she loves to try anything that crosses her path. She sustained a spinal cord injury at 19 and very quickly fell in love with adaptive sports and immersed herself in the adaptive sports world.

Peter grew up in California and went into the US Marine Corps after high school. As a disabled veteran, he works at the PVA, Paralyzed Veterans of America as the cycling manager. You’ll find Peter hitting the trails on his handcycle, monosking, or hanging out with his five dogs. He love’s all military organizations who helps out our injured and wounded veterans and is super passionate about helping individuals with disabilities to stay active and developing the best adaptive cycling team. We are so pumped to have you on the team Peter!

Barry Wilcox  comes to us from Port Angeles, WA, with a background in exercise science and sports medicine. He’s always had a passion for and love for bikes, he was a US team member as an able-bodied individual pre-spinal cord injury and sees racing hand bikes as his second chance. Having been a clinical exercise physiologist and college instructor, he now focuses on handbike racing for Team USA, along with teaching. His passion lies in both helping people maximize their abilities and promoting cycling’s health benefits for individuals of all abilities. 

Hailing from Brockport, NY, Jimmy’s journey from a 3-sport high school athlete, excelling in hurdling, to a seasoned cyclist and obstacle course enthusiast reflects his lifelong love for sports and movement. With a background in packaging engineering, Jimmy brings a unique perspective to adaptive biking. A recent Doctorate in Physical Therapy graduate, he now applies his diverse skills to assist customers in discovering the joy of cycling at Bike-On. Off the clock, you’ll find Jimmy immersed in improv with the Providence Improv Guild, organizing charity gaming marathons, and exploring the scenic landscapes of Rhode Island on his bike, embodying his passion for sports, arts, and community.
