He works at Bike Zoo bike shop in Knoxville, TN. He is 30 years old and was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Growing up as a child and throughout his teenage years he was primarily a track and cross country runner. After putting college on hold is when he started his cycling life primarily as a fixed gear cyclist. Travis is a bike mechanic, and not long after moving to Knoxville in November of 2019. He wanted to live somewhere new and expand his life as a cyclist in a place with mountains. Travis dabbles with every category of cycling every once in a while. But he has found that his heart and legs enjoy soaking up the beauty of the forests and mountains that surround his newfound home on a single speed mountain bike.
