Bryan Larsen is one of the great cyclists I get to ride with on Sonoma County group rides. I love the diversity of Bryan’s bike racing career, from the local TNTs (Tuesday Night Twilights weekly crit series put on by Red Peloton at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds) to pro racing on the road. Bryan also gives us a great example of how to pivot through adversity and find new opportunities. Learn Bryan turned a terrible crash into a lifetime experience competing in the Paralympics in Paris in 2024.

Through it all, Bryan remains incredibly grounded about his achievements in cycling. His humility provides a simple inspiration: keep riding.

From Bryan Larsen:

"First and foremost, I don't consider myself very talented. My only talent is that I'm too dumb to quit. And at the core, my dedication to my craft and passion for solving problems stands above any singular race result. On the track, I have a few national championship jerseys and a 6th place (and US national record) from the Games last summer that I'm particularly proud of achieving. On the road, I've stood on podiums and won jerseys but I've also been dropped and ridden across finish lines all by myself in odd and obscure places around the country (probably more the latter than the former). Just like we spoke about, I believe in the summation of experiences and opportunities and making the most of your time in sport."
