Nice to meet you,

I'm Ben Robledo, founder of Stride Cycling. I'm 19 years old with a passion for anything and everything bikes. With a solid history of cycling for years, I’ve gained significant knowledge and experience. I raced for Team Swift, a junior development cycling team out of Santa Rosa, and won the NCNCA State/District Championships in 2021. Previous to this, I competed in triathlons for iCAN Triathlon Club in Clovis.

Beyond racing, I’ve spent countless hours in the workshop learning the ins and outs of bike maintenance and repair. From fine-tuning drivetrains to overhauling bottom brackets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of bike mechanics through both hands-on experience and a genuine curiosity for how things work. Whether it's getting a race bike dialed for peak performance or fixing up a commuter for everyday reliability, I take pride in doing the job right. My background as a competitive cyclist gives me a unique perspective on what riders need from their bikes—both on and off the road.
