sc member of the month: greg smith

• What brought you to Jibe?

I was tipping the scales at 350 pounds and needed a fun place to start whittling it down, preferably somewhere that didn’t judge my dance moves on the bike. Now I’m 50 pounds lighter and still going!

• How long have you been a member?

18 months—long enough for the bike to recognize me by name.

• What accomplishments/milestones are you most proud of so far?

Dropping the weight, yes—but even better? Keeping up in class without looking like I’m auditioning for a slow-motion fall.

• What was your most memorable experience at Jibe?

Definitely hitting the podium for my 250th ride with Kay! I think it’s the only time I out-sprinted her!

• What’s your favorite part about Jibe?

It’s the only place where being breathless, sweaty, and occasionally yelling “Why?!” is considered progress. Plus, everyone cheers for you like you just won the Tour de France.
