NICOLE Office Manager
Nicole moved to Port Townsend in April of 2009. She was involved with Jefferson Trails Coalition (Peninsula Trails Coalition- that cool group involved in the Olympic Discovery Trail and the Larry Scott Trail!), and the Rhody Run Board, and Port Townsend Bicycle Association. She's been leading women's rides since the spring of 2011 and hopes they continue indefinitely. She was a League of American Bicyclist Certified Instructor (LCI) and has volunteered with the Jefferson County Parks and Recreation Department, YMCA and Blue Heron Middle School to teach "bicycle safety and adventures!" She loves biking and would love to share a ride with you.
DAN Sales Associate and Mechanic
Dan strolled in one day and demanded a job as a mechanic. He proved himself worthy, patient, understanding, and full of wit. Dan loves biking to work, and loves to bake treats. Come by to hear any of his great stories, or see him turning a wrench.
SCOTT Mechanic
Scott grew up working on motorcycles which evolved into careers in Automotive R&D, Product Development, and Aeronautical Engineering. He has come full circle back to twisting wrenches at The Broken Spoke. He rides road and MTB enjoying both. He is happiest being active outside, exploring, and appreciating the natural beauty of our area.
JAMES Mechanic
James thinks that bikes are the best. He has so much experience repairing and maintaining bicycles, during his interview he asked if he could bring his personal tools to use while at work. He loves organizing and keeping moving things moving.
James loves spending time sailing with his family in his time off.
BRUNO Beginner Mechanic, Sales Associate
I am currently in High School. I got my first bike at The Broken Spoke when I was two years old. I’ve loved bikes ever since. I try to get out and ride as much as possible.
IAN Beginner Mechanic
Ian has been an avid cyclist from a young age. He is always enthusiastic to learn about new bike stuff. He enjoys sharing his passion for BMX. Want to go for a ride?
Emily Sales Associate
Emily joined The Broken Spoke in January 2024. She is a seasoned bike commuter who has dabbled in triathlons and enjoys the challenge of transporting big things by bike.
When not at the shop or out riding, she enjoys rowing, scuba diving, sailing, drawing, reading, and cooking. She has lived in seven states and has visited all but one (eyes on you, North Dakota).
CHRIS Mechanic
Chris has loved living in the PNW. So much that when he moved away he came back. As an avid cyclist, he has a secret challenge of riding his bike at least three times a week.
He and his partner enjoy long bicycle rides, eating delicious food and a good joke.
PAUL Mechanic
Paul’s been pedaling for most of his life — whether that’s commuting in the UK, touring in Montana, gravel riding in Kansas, or beach cruising in California.
He spends his time wrenching on bikes, backpacking with his dog, and exploring the west coast in his van —— and would love to get your bike tuned up for future adventures!
