Growing up in rural Iowa, Amy spent her early days biking on dirt roads, chasing her faster boy cousins and out-sprinting her neighbor’s Doberman dog. Although years have passed since those days, Amy’s love for dirt and gravel roads hasn’t subsided. Now living in Iowa City, Amy is a gravel cycling enthusiast and is a fierce advocate for women and females in cycling, serving as a mentor for many triathletes and female cyclists. “I feel that it is important to elevate women in the cycling space. As a nurse I also advocate for children on bicycles. Too many children sit in front of screens and lack outdoor time. I have always been big on taking my children and their friends on bike rides.”

Favorite cycling event in Bike Iowa City
Bike Library’s Farm Cycle. I love the combination of community, food, traveling from farm to farm. It is a little like a throwback to my childhood! 2022 was special in that my 11 year-old daughter came along with us on the 22 mile route and it was her first “gravel event”.
