Bike Mart TBM Short Sleeve Women's Jersey

Jim Hoyt had an idea about starting a team for the MS 150. At that time there were about 10-18 corporate teams that were raising some good money, but that was not good enough for Jim. So Team Bike Mart.com was formed in late 2001 for the 2002 ride season. It was inspired by Jim and Rhonda Hoyt and long time friend and road bike racer Steve Mailman. Steve was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1990. The team that was started in Steve Mailman's honor had a mission. The goal was to raise a lot more money to fight this terrible disease.

We started in 2002 with 32 Riders and raised $29,543. After this, every year has been a record setting year for Team Bike Mart (TBM).

Due to the sucess of Team Bike Mart with MS 150 (now Bike MS); Team Bike Mart added several more rides:

The Ride Ataxia, WildRide! Against Cancer, Tour De Cure, Wish 100 and LIVESTRONG Challenge.

We want you, your friends, your neighbors and your family on Team Bike Mart. These are fun events and raise money for great causes. What great weekends - riding your bicycle in some of the best organized and supported events in the country. Even though we have a fun filled weekend, the real purpose of these events is to raise as much money as possible to aid in finding a cure for these devastating diseases.

"Joining Team Bike Mart for some of the recent rally rides has helped me gain a lot of confidence and given me the encouragement I needed to ride a whole lotta miles that I would never have thought I would cover. From training rides to the actual event, with the group's friendly camaraderie and support, I really felt like a part of a team and look forward to pedaling more miles alongside Team Bike Mart. Thanks you!" - Anne (May 2013)
