Staff

  • Sara Spencer- Fall Marketing Intern

    Student at the University of Vermont racing for UVM cycling, but mostly just likes going on long rides in the woods. She likes the techy sections and has the scars to prove it.

Former Inventory Manager, current part-timer. Capt. Wooster's stoker. Principal investigator for the Everybody Bikes But Tom pilot program.

  • Greg Hostetler, Mechanic

    Long time community shop volunteer. Has more college degrees than bicycles, but is more proud of his bikes. Dynamo hub aficionado. Believes everyone should have a bike and every bike should have some panniers, but realizes there may be some limitations.

  • Will Warren, Mechanic

    Will spent many a season in the 80’s and 90’s spinning wrenches in Burlington bike shops.  His main gig now is science teaching in Colchester, but he is excited to be with Old Spokes many weekends in the summer.  He’s ridden, raced, broken, and fixed all kinds of bikes since he was a wee lad. He’s been known to chase IMBA Epics and has what he considers the best bike-boat-bike commute in the world from South Hero to points south.
