Kim Steed | Owner
Born and raised on the coast, Kim opened the first Steed Cycles location in 1997, one block from where it sits today. Kim has always found biking to be an amazing way to experience the real world.
“I think my earliest memory is at about age 4 when my parents bought my first two wheeled bike and I was allowed to go and ride all over the neighbourhood with my brother without anyone watching over us; such freedom!”
When not at the shop, you can catch Kim spending time with his family, or on one of his many bikes.
Steve Savage | General Manager
Steve grew up in North Vancouver and has been riding the trails on the North Shore for over 20 years. Steve is Kim’s longest standing employee, having been with the business for almost 16 years, and his favorite road ride is the LSCR to Seymour Dam. When not at the shop, you can find Steve running with his wife Meghan, traveling, or hiking in our beautiful backyard.
Branden Grass | Operations Manager
Branden was born and raised right here, on the Shore in North Vancouver, where he finished a Degree in Tourism and Outdoor Recreation at Capilano University. Branden has been with Steed Cycles for 10 years, and is loving life as the Operations Manager. One of his favourite local rides is the North Shore Triple Crown. A huge day of riding, this trail takes you from one end of the North Shore to the other, working your way across the trail network of Seymour, Fromme, and Cypress before ending in Horseshoe Bay. Branden’s goal for 2017 is to be out on his bike more.
“It has been a long winter, so now that the trails are open and the temperatures are up it is time to get out there!”
Scott Campbell | Service Manager
Originally from the flat lands of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Scott is working toward riding the Chilcotin’s this year! When he is not in our service bay, getting your bike in top shape, you can find him camping, hiking and generally living the dream.
Tony Brisindi | Service
Reputedly born in Montreal, Tony’s coffee addiction indicates a hidden South American connection. Tony was bitten by the bike bug after borrowing a friends mountain bike back in ’89.
“The joy of exploring trails and roads less traveled, using legs and lungs, continues to motivate me.”
Tony loves to bust out a quick, early morning ride close to home, heading up 7th Secret to Leppard to Crinkum Crankum, to Kirkford on Fromme. When he isn’t busy fixing everyone else’s bike, you can find Tony preparing to bikepack the Sunshine Coast solo, on dirt and gravel.
Michael Brown | Service
Hailing all the way from Brisbane, Australia, Michael got into biking as a way to recover from an injury, and never looked back. He now spends his ride time in the Demo Forest.
“Not the dirt stuff. I love how peaceful it is, and no worries about traffic. It’s a fun little section.”
He is currently training to crush the Whistler Gran Fondo in under 4hours 30minutes.
