Dayton Crites, Board Member

After years of thinking that bicycles were nothing but children’s toys, Dayton was introduced to the bliss of riding a bicycle on singletrack, floating under a canopy of trees and flying along a smooth, brown sinuous trail rolling through the countryside.  Ever since, he’s known no other dedication like his dedication to promoting the sport, recreation and lifestyle of mountain biking.

Dayton brings over five years of bicycle industry experience to SF Urban Riders.  From repairs to sales, running advocacy programs to writing product copy and organizing events, Dayton has undertaken a variety of roles within the industry.  Recently he observed that what really makes a ride wonderful isn’t as much the bicycle as it is the trail.  That line that takes us from here to there in the most beautiful way possible.  It is to promote the proliferation of trails and bicycle facilities that Dayton co-founded SF Urban Riders along with some of the talented folk listed above.  Dayton is primarily responsible for the creation of web content on this page, so if  you’ve got any great ideas, be sure to pass them along.
