About CBR
We are a local bicycle racing team based out of Boston Massachusetts. Founded in the spirit of getting more people to ride, race and fostering a healthy community around both. We believe that no matter your level, from a new Category 5 to a Professional, everyone needs a community around them to get the most out of their experience.
While many incarnations of this team have existed over the years the current iteration was started in 2012 by Daniel Nuzzo-Mueller and with support from the shop that is our namesake: “Community Bicycle Supply”. While we are an independent entity from the shop we are still closely aligned with their goals of getting more people to ride.
CBR is proudly sponsored by these awesome companies
