SCOTT Mechanic
Scott grew up working on motorcycles which evolved into careers in Automotive R&D, Product Development, and Aeronautical Engineering. He has come full circle back to twisting wrenches at The Broken Spoke. He rides road and MTB enjoying both.

JAMES Mechanic

James loves spending time sailing with his family in his time off.
JES Sales Associate
Jes brings enthusiasm and authenticity into helping riders get more time out riding their bikes. Commuting to school and work with kids kicked off her cycling addiction, which quickly moved into a deep love for loam. Jes enjoys singletrack, enduro, and gravel grinding all over the PNW. She also gives back to the community as a member and trail building volunteer of Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance.
