Meet The Team

How It All Got Started!

Married in 2010, Neal and Jess have spent most of their marriage on staff with various camp ministries and non-profit organizations. Even though they share a passion for people and adventure (and obviously their two daughters and dog), they struggled to find a hobby that they could enjoy together. Then they discovered e-bikes on an anniversary trip to Colorado. Unsure if she could keep up with long-time bicycle enthusiast Neal, Jess was hesitant to give them a try… especially considering the altitude. They were both pleasantly surprised to find that the electronic assist was the great bicycle equalizer!

After moving (back, for Jess) to Tyler in 2020, Neal quickly got involved with local businesses through his work at Legacy Mortgage, as well as membership in Tyler Young Professionals Network, Business Networking International (BNI), and Leadership Tyler (Class 35). He experienced first-hand all the exciting things happening (and yet to come!) here and saw a way for our passion for people, adventure, and E-bikes to come alongside local businesses and promote the city of Tyler.  

Ride Tyler is local, electric, and fun! We want to showcase the beauty and uniqueness that is Tyler, TX, while experiencing the ease and joy of riding an electric bike. Fun for all ages, E-bikes take the stress out of riding and East Texas hills are no match for even the most inexperienced rider.
