Solveig worked with many companies including several cycling companies in BC and QC for rebranding, and designed Cycling BC’s new provincial championships jersey, team kit, premier series, and iRide kit 2018, worked with Red Bull for their Air Race, X-Fighter, their events, and many more divisions.———Solveig has been involved in several international projects as a designer in Egypt, Italy, Austria (Red Bull), many e-learning projects and her home country, as well as a cultural-artistic project in Montreal. Her cycling enthusiasm brought her to work with the police, schools, and several cycling clubs as a designer+coach. Her love for bringing the outdoors into her professional world helped her to design+understand creating the newest jerseys for CBC, RBC GF and many more. Her worldly interest + experience made her being involved in ex-pat organization, speaking several languages and even worked a season in the Italian Alps. Now being with the BVC she helps to be a stand for gender diversity and to do what she loves, making thing looks great while riding her bike!

Education: coming soon

Years riding: coming soon

Accomplishments: coming soon

BVC comments: Julian has a great ability to get riders to focus on the key things that will make them successful during the Learn to Ride and Learn to Race sessions. But don’t think it is all serious business, expect to walk away with one or two tall tales from the life of a cyclist. During the day Julian is a representative for several bike brands and accessories that you will find in your local bike shop.

Education: Environmental Technology

Years Riding Track: Since 1987, at the Montreal Olympic Velodrome

Accomplishments: Everything starts with “A long, long, time ago…” and most things end with “washed up has been”, or “never was”, but sometimes if the wind is blowing in the right direction there is a glimmer of hope for him still. #IAMCYCLIST

BVC comments: ummm?

Daniel Fraser-Maraun

Track Attendant

Education: A few embarrassingly lackluster semesters at Simon Fraser University.

Years Riding: Since I was 3, but seriously for under 6 months.

Accomplishments: I was a solid national level junior rower. Among my notable performances, I pulled a 6:152k erg, nabbed a u23 BC Championship as a Junior, and won the Royal Canadian Henley in the U19 2x. After a few years of stagnancy following my leaving the sport of rowing, I now aim to become an elite in the sport of cycling. As of this moment, I boast a 100% winrate in the TT discipline.

BVC comments: Don’t let the quiet demeanour of this track attendant let you think that he is anything other than a beast on the bike. Surely he will be one of the fastest riders around in now time.

Adam Reddy

Mechanic, Track Attendant

Education: coming soon

Years riding: coming soon

Accomplishments: coming soon

BVC comments: Adam has this unique ability to push his body beyond the red line. He is either on his bike making other hurt or he is on the ground having a heart attack as a result of the hard effort. He is a great trusted man with a wrench.

David Miller happened on cycling late in life. In 2014 he befriended experienced, cyclist, coach and mentor Richard Wooles, David jumped into cycling with the entirety of his heart. After losing a ton of weight, David found and dipped his cleats into ride and racing at the Burnaby Velodrome. He’s since eagerly fit in as much as he can manage, including competing at Masters National Championships within the first two years of racing a bicycle. He’s drawn to the velodrome for the vibrant, active and encouraging community of like minded humans he’s found.

Growing up in the UK, Al began riding through the charity cycling event “The Paris to Hayling”.
