Lorie Bickford

This is the instructor bio from our website at www.joyridecycling.com:

Lorie Bickford, co-owner and principal instructor at JoyRide, can remember every bike she has ever owned and loved, and there have been many. She has always been active, whether it is, outdoor cycling, hiking, x-country skiing, even competitive badminton. In 1998, Lorie discovered indoor cycling as an effective and fun way to stay in shape for all the activities she enjoys and she has been hooked ever since.
Lorie’s classes are known for being upbeat and non-competitive, but always individually challenging. Her greatest satisfaction is to see individuals set and meet their personal goals, while having fun along the way! As for music, whatever sets the tone for the ride is fair game. She is fortunate to have Jeff’s vast musical library from which to choose motivating and upbeat music to match her teaching style! In addition to being a Schwinn Certified Cycling Coach, she is certified in SPINNING®, by Madd Dogg Athletics and Group Power Weight training classes by Body Training Systems.
Outside the cycling studio Lorie enjoys traveling with her partner and husband, Jeff; being a proud Oregon State Beaver mom; and facilitating courses for Chemeketa Community College’s MERIT Micro-enterprise and Customized Training Programs. She is bilingual in English/Spanish so: Sí, Se Habla Epañol en JoyRide
