As a young lad and fledgling cyclist owner/founder Brooks Van Holt received a vision of a bicycle business that offered quality used bicycles and parts to cycling enthusiasts at discount prices. After many moons working in the bicycle industry and experiencing the power of the online marketplace through ebay and craigslist, he launched Bicycle Czar in October 2007. Nearly 12 years later he continues to have a passion for all things "Bicycle" and the entrepreneurial spirit that has allowed our nation and Bicycle Czar to flourish. It has become clear to him that "bringing order to the used bicycle world" is a big ass job. The objective has not yet been reached, but great progress has been made. His belief in the cause is unwavering and he has been deeply humbled by the journey and truly grateful to have known the many characters that have contributed to this endeavour.
