History

Established in 2004.

Cycle University was established in 2004 by local pro cyclist Craig Undem to develop the best coaching and teaching methods for cycling and sell the best training gear money can buy. The school has created a large curriculum of proprietary classes and teaching methods for everything from how-​to-​ride for the first time to preparing for the Tour de France.

Both retail locations, one in West Seattle and the other in North Seattle, carry bikes and gear for any level rider. Cycle U specializes in helping the new and aspiring rider gain confidence and skills to reach their goals with the appropriate gear and instruction.
