Kyle
Kyle is one of the two owners of Rebel Cycle. He is a structural engineer by day, but avid cycling fanatic by night.
Kyle started indoor cycling approximately 10-years ago. While he may not have be the stereotypical cycling build, he found a passion for cycling in small classes in Pittsburgh. His initial cycling experience showed him that cycling could push your muscles to a level of soreness that other forms of cardio couldn’t. His goal is to bring people of all backgrounds, ages, and body types to the bike. He understands the initial apprehension of entering a class for the first time with a number of experienced cyclists and is here to help you overcome that stigma.
In his spare time, Kyle enjoys lifting, running, and hanging out with his pups. Kyle has been playing guitar and bass for over 15 years. Kyle’s classes feature music of all genres and varieties.
Kyle's background:
- Hometown- Johnstown, PA
- Education- B.S. Civil Engineering Technology, University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown
