Ambassadors

Gene Hanson

Gene is the engine that never quits. A dedicated commuter and die-hard adventurer, Gene racks up more miles in a month than most do all year—rain or shine, trail or tarmac. He’s been with Grizzly Cycles since the doors first opened, and his belief in the shop runs deeper than tire tread. Gene doesn’t just ride bikes—he lives them. His loyalty, stoke, and relentless curiosity have fueled countless trips, inspired new riders, and helped shape Grizzly into what it is today.

Simply put: Gene bleeds Grizzly.

Drew Raney

is a Grizzly Cycles ambassador and a die-hard single speeder who rides with heart and purpose. Known for tackling trails with just one gear and a whole lot of grit, Drew also channels that same passion into getting the next generation rolling. As the founder of the All Kids Bikes program in his school district, he’s raised thousands to put bikes under students who need them most—proving that a bike can be more than just a ride; it can be a door to freedom, fun, and self-confidence. Whether he’s grinding gravel or guiding young riders, Drew shows up with full send energy and community at the core.

Alejandro Daza

Alejandro is a force on two wheels and in life—the man behind CUMBRE and the living embodiment of the Grizzly Cycles ethos: never give up, never compromise. Whether he’s climbing mountains or chasing meaning in the miles, Alejandro rides with purpose and fire. He’s not just a supporter of the shop; he’s family. A true friend, a constant motivator, and a reminder that the summit is always within reach when you lead with courage.

Mikey "Banana King" Fernadez

Mikey is the kind of rider—and friend—you count yourself lucky to know. Fiercely loyal and endlessly generous, he brings full-gas energy to every ride and every moment spent repping Grizzly Cycles. He’s the one who finishes a ride before most of us hit the halfway point, then sticks around to cheer us in. Wise beyond his years and driven by a rare kind of kindness, Mikey isn’t just part of the team—he’s part of the soul. 

Jose Orozco

Jose is the quiet craftsman of the crew—the one who’ll pause mid-ride to tweak a derailleur (even if he’s not running one). A proud believer that rigid bikes are just fine, he backs up his philosophy with miles and stoic style. But don't mistake simplicity for scarcity—Jose has a deep appreciation for the finer things, whether that’s a perfect tire pressure or a post-ride espresso that hits just right. Immune to peer pressure and solid when the going gets tough, he’s the kind of riding partner you want next to you when the trail disappears and the vibes matter most.

James Coyle

James was more than a rider—he was joy in motion. The kind of friend who never asked where we were headed, only if we were rolling. He showed up with a smile, stayed with good vibes, and left a mark on every mile. His laughter was contagious, his spirit unshakable, and his love for life and bikes was pure. Though he’s no longer with us physically, James will always ride alongside us—in every climb, every descent, and every laugh around the fire.
Ride in peace, James. We miss you. We remember you. We carry you.
