Nic McAdam, Manager
Class of 2025
“Hi, I’m Nic. Originally part of the class of ’24 but now part of ’25. After growing up in a farming environment, I have always had a interest in fixing things, and start working on bikes at a young age. Subsequently I have worked as a full time bike mechanic working on a range of different levels and types of bikes over the years. I strongly believe that Cyclab is a special place unique to Princeton where you are encouraged to make mistakes, learn as you go in nurturing environment.”
Sam Kleiner, Manager
Class of 2025
“Hi, I’m Sam K. I am a ECE major, class of ’25, from Connecticut! I started learning how to fix bikes when the bike I bought off Facebook Marketplace broke. After learning how to fix that bike, I never stopped! I love bikes, rowing, and would like to work in robotics or software. Fun fact, I am also a triplet! I became manager in Spring of 2022!”
Sam Gerhard
Class of 2025
“Hi, I’m Sam G. I’m a class of ’25 ECE major from Rhode Island who has a love for all things mechanical and electrical, including bikes! I got my first start on bikes a little over a year ago when I rescued my daily rider from a barn. Since then, I’ve worked on loads of bikes, and I’ll do everything I can to make yours functional once again.”

Hello I’m the resident Aussie of the cyclab. I keep vibes high and try to keep Nic McAdam in order and not overly possessive over cyclab and the bikes we fix (he thinks he owns the place). Fell in love with bikes building dirt jumps with my mates to ride on my mountain bike but tend to just road cycle these days. Been fixing bikes since I realized it was quicker, easier and cheaper to do it on my own since I was 12.
Andrew Wilkinson
Class of 2026
Hi, I’m Drew Wilkinson I’m class of ‘26 and a SPIA major. I’m from Chicago and fell in love with whipping bikes around the city. I ride a fixie around campus, which gets the legs working for any hill. I love replacing tires and all other needs for bikes.
Fergus Nevill
Class of 2025
Hi, my name’s Fergus, I’m class of 2025 and majoring in the SPIA department. I started riding bikes when competing for my middle school in France. Since then, I have used bikes daily to get around. If you ever see me on my green bike on campus, don’t be shy say hi!

Emma Smithwick
Class of 2026
Hey, I’m Emma! I’m from the class of ‘26, and I study Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Science. Home for me is in South Jersey. I didn’t have any previous experience working with bikes before Cyclab; however, I am always excited to learn about different machines and systems, and the older members were kind enough to teach me what I needed to know over the course of last year. I am involved in some other Princeton organizations like OA, Cornerstone Community Kitchen, Club Swimming, and research in the MAE department. I also love being active and spending time outdoors in my free time. I hope someday to work as an environmental engineer and help transition the world to renewables 🙂

Joy
Class of 2024
Joy majored in COS, and is from sunny South FL. Prior to working at Cyclab, she had no experience with bikes, but thought they seemed rad; since working at Cyclab, she’s had lots of fun fixing bikes and meeting cool people. On campus, she can be found taking photos of colorful leaves, playing piano with the Princeton Pianists Ensemble, or making trips to the U-Store to acquire jalapeño chips.
