Meet the Team

  • Peter Brandes

    OWNER

    Peter moved to Colorado in 2010 to attend CU Boulder and quickly fell in love with the outdoors. Already an avid skier and camper, he dove headfirst into Colorado’s outdoor scene—climbing, hiking 14ers, and trail running. He even swapped his motorcycle for a gravel bike from the very shop that once occupied this space, commuting and riding to adventures throughout RMNP and the Indian Peaks Wilderness, all from his home in Niwot under his own power.

    Peter spent years in the service industry—starting as a dishwasher and working up to managing two restaurants—before becoming a teacher. After five years in education, the chance to take over the Wheel House felt like the perfect way to combine his love for endurance sports and his passion for community. He's excited to continue building a space where friends, family, and neighbors can connect for years to come.

  • Brandon

    BIKE SHOP MANAGER

    Raised in Colorado, bikes have always held a special place in Brandon’s life. As a bike commuter and avid “bikepacker”, becoming a professional bike mechanic felt like a natural progression. He’s passionate about caring for bikes, knowing how much joy and confidence a well-tuned ride can bring. Creating an inclusive and welcoming space is central to his mission of growing the cycling community.

    To Brandon, bikes are the ultimate multipurpose tool. Whether it’s riding through the neighborhood with a friend, venturing into the foothills for an overnight adventure, or simply commuting to work and picking up groceries—bikes make it all possible. It’s this versatility, and the wide-reaching community that comes with it, that fuels his excitement to help more people get outside. Whatever inspires someone to hop on two wheels, he hopes to see them out there.
