Sylvie Froncek, Programs Director

Sylvie has been wrenching and teaching cycling skills workshops for more than 10 years. In 2018, after numerous long bike tours and volunteer work in bike collectives around the world, she founded Vie Cycle, a business that offers mobile bike maintenance workshops for cyclists who identify as women and LGBTQI+. As a teambuilding facilitator and an outdoor educator, she values experiential education and teaching according to the Multiple Intelligences Theory.

She rides bikes as a way to experience life at a more reasonable pace and build community.
