Biography
Cycling has become a lifestyle for SuperB rider, Greg Gleason. He works full time, has a very active family, and still finds time to ride approximately 14,000 miles annually. As a very busy professional, Greg relies on cycling to relax and reduce stress. He commutes, trains, explores, thinks, and learns via his bike. In short, he eats, sleeps, and breathes ‘bike’!
I’m the perfect example of how cycling has made my life better. I have transformed my life from an overweight dad to a dad that sets an example every day on how to be adventurous. My adventure started with a basic goal to lose weight and improve my physical abilities. Now, my goals have grown to ‘What adventure can I do next to continue to grow as an athlete, individual, and role-model to my family and my cycling community?’
My dedication to cycling year round interests others who frequently ask questions, which allows me a path to share my journey and hopefully inspire them to find their “thing”.
