  • About Epic

    Epic Wheel Works, LLC was born out of my love for the hand built bicycle wheel and it’s powerful ability to revolutionize rides, lives, and communities. In short, I ask myself what it means to be EPIC.

    Operations
    Being EPIC begins with the small things. How this company operates is equally important to me as creating and building a quality wheel for you. From the way the t-shirts are printed, what lubricants are used, how local orders are picked-up/delivered I take “Eco-conscious” and “Sustainable” seriously. Epic strives to make a positive impact on our planet, our community and in your life. 

    Individuals
    My goal is help you begin your undiscovered love affair with wheels. I geek out on wheels so that when we sit down to create a wheel set or expound on your vision I can answer all the questions you have and help you select components that will live up to the demands of your adventures. I’m also here for you miles later when you have questions about your current wheel set or creating another one!

    I believe that wheels are art and so I carefully consider the aesthetics of your wheels from the initial design all the way through the building process. 

    Community
    Serving the community I live in is of utmost importance to me. I spend time volunteering at a local non-profit teaching mechanics. Additionally, I support as many local venders as possible especially those that operate in an eco-conscious and sustainable method.

    The Bigger Picture
    As Epic Wheel Works, LLC grows I intend to support bicycle mechanics who volunteer at bicycle projects in developing countries. Already a percentage of our t-shirt sales are going towards this vision. 

    In the past I’ve had the opportunity to work in global bike projects. The experience for the mechanic, and the community the mechanic comes from, benefits from this experience. For the mechanic and his/her community anew and deeper understanding is created of just how much bicycles are critical in the lives of so many of people around the world. After earning my BA in the Development and Sustainability of Grassroots Organizations it became apparent that while there are many amazing bicycle programs around the world that ship bicycles to developing countries, there are few that support knowledge being distributed with these generous donations.  Therefore, supporting our local mechanics to travel and be a part of these projects is essential.

    And this, in short is what it means to be EPIC—to contribute and be something greater than oneself.  Thank you for your support!
