Ryan is a car mechanic by trade who does a lot of his diagnosing over a screen these days, which is how bikes filled the gap. It started with his own kids' bikes falling apart in the driveway, then it turned into the neighborhood thing, where somebody sees the garage door open and now you're the guy. He rides the Murdock Canal Trail enough to have opinions about the best entry points relative to the point of the mountain. He doesn't call himself an expert, just someone who's done it enough times. He teaches because it keeps him in the mix and it saves people money, which he finds genuinely satisfying.
