Stoked to have the absolute legend Peter Sagan stop by our home base for a ride this week!

Who is Peter Sagan?

Peter Sagan is one of those rare athletes who’s impossible to ignore, even if you’re not a diehard cycling fan. With seven Tour de France green jerseys—the most anyone’s ever won—and three straight World Championship titles, his career stats speak for themselves. But Sagan’s appeal goes beyond the results. Whether he’s pulling off an outrageous sprint, carving through a descent like it’s a work of art, or popping wheelies just to entertain the crowd, he brings a personality to cycling that’s equal parts skill and showmanship. He’s the kind of rider who makes you want to watch, not just for the race but for the unpredictable magic he brings to it. Having him swing by Cadence Cyclery Encinitas was a real moment for us—a chance to meet someone who’s not just shaped the sport but reminded everyone why riding bikes is so much fun in the first place.
