The Berkshire Bike and Board Team
The Berkshire Bike and Board Team.
Since 1998 we have been passionate about getting people rolling on 2 wheels. Wether it is just cruising around the neighborhood with your kids, mountain biking in the woods, long road bike rides in the summer or commuting to work, we are dedicated to making sure your ride is as smooth as can be. We are lucky to have a team of cyclist here at Berkshire Bike and Board that all share the same passion of riding bicycles.
Steffen Root - Owner
7 in 10 chance that this guy sold you a bike, and his favorite hobby is getting people hooked on Shimano Di2 and Specialized TURBO! On his days off he can be found weed wacking and pumping up his kids bounce house.
Dave Clark - Owner
If you have been involved in the mountain bike community within a 50 mile radius then you know Dave as the ringleader and craft beer hander outer. On his days off you can find Dave bringing his kids to basketball and hitting some MTB trails in between games.
Jaryn Pierson - General Manager
Barspins, town line sprints, enduro wins off the couch... Jaryn has it like that. He is also good at reading, cooking and wearing clogs. On his days off he can be found reading the newspaper and going to bed at 7:45pm.
Jay Elling - Marketing & E-commerce Manager
You know that guy that always throws down the watts at the BBB holiday party? THIS IS HIM! Known to help a customer buy an inner tube and then sell them a new e-bike. You can find Jay cruising with his family on some rollerskates or riding local dirt roads at 6am on his days off.

Andrew Gillman - Pittsfield Retail Professional
Head of janitorial and overall appearances of the Pittsfield location aka Assistant Manager. Andrew is pretty much the North county version of Seb... We are taking applications for DJ names for Andrew, he was pretty good at the BBB holiday party.

John Forsberg - Monday Night Shift Coverer
Looking for that sweet new hack for your broken fatbike, John can help you out to get back out on to the trail. Ask him about his speed clapping capabilities.
Craig Walton - Bicycle Delivery
More experience in the Berkshire cycling community than Steffen and Dave combined. He remembers when people used to glue their tires on and all bike routes were uphill both clockwise and counter clockwise, while riding barefoot in 8 inches of snow. Don't even mention disc brakes around Craig.
