Founders /Biking Enthusiasts
Our Story
The seeds of Fly Rides were planted just as the Great Recession was coming into full swing. Like a lot of others around the country, Ike’s work of many years had began to dry up with the Recession and with nothing in the pipeline, Ike & Megan, husband & wife, decided to take some time off and follow a dream they had had for many years of biking through Italy and France.
With that they sold off many of their belongings, packed up the rest, and headed to Rome to begin an experience that would forever change their course. Many months, miles, and bicchieri di vino later Megan and Ike returned to the U.S. with the inspiration to start a tour company centered around bicycling. They love SoCal with a passion and appreciation that comes through fully in their business.
Hey! I’m Scott and I make videos and other content for Fly Rides. I’m also a screenwriter, actor, and filmmaker. Cycling and creating have both been a huge part of my life for a long time, and having both of those things come together for me while living in the best city in Cali has been awesome! When I’m not working you can catch me running through the Valley or performing on one of the improv stages in town..

Hey there, names Jerit, friends call me Jay and closer friends call me JJ. I’m originally from Staten Island, NY and forever a Yankee with an East Coast mindset. Went from a world of Finance to E-Bikes, why? Because Finance doesn’t give you the thrill like a really nice Specialized does. Plus I live in California now and my parents still think I’m on a long vacation…..
