Nick loves to bike!  His first job at age 15, which he loved, was as a bike mechanic. He rode his bike so much, that he decided to start racing. He raced in downhill mountain bike races in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah and had a blast! Then Nick discovered how much he loved teaching people how to mountain bike so he became a mountain bike instructor. For several years he taught kids and adults on trails and in bike parks.

Nick shared bike safety tips with Teacher Librarian Heather Fox and students at Amana Elementary in Amana, Iowa.
