Jefferson McCarley
The only thing Jefferson nurtures more than Mission Bicycle is his facial hair; and the only thing he wouldn’t do for us is miss Burning Man. He often has to be reminded that he does not in fact live in the shop, but has a home only a few hundred feet away. We think he thinks San Francisco is an island with Mission Bicycle as its capitol. He’s heard of the Golden Gate Bridge before and someday, if it’s sunny, he might like to cross it.
Having pedaled his way through Texas, Chicago and the Caribbean, Jefferson settled in SF and found work but not reward with a large corporation. When enough was enough, he jumped on board our crazy young business to advocate professionally for the cyclists he had long been supporting personally.
Jefferson’s dedication to our customers, our bikes and cycling is unparalleled. He’s made countless cyclists out of frustrated pedestrians and under his stewardship we’ve seen Mission Bicycle transcend our humble home.
Jefferson is the only staffer to have ever owned a bike shop in Puerto Rico.
