Rebecca Nicol

OWNER | COACH | GUIDE

Rebecca was born and raised in North Vancouver. If you saw her on a bike now, you would assume that she had been riding from a young age. In reality, she didn’t own a bike; as the middle child to a single mother, there was no budget for bikes.

She discovered mountain biking by accident in 2014 after a serious cancer diagnosis. When her illness forced her to give up her Firefighting career, her mental health declined rapidly. After one lap down Bobsled on Mount Fromme, she was hooked. Biking was to be the new therapy!

Rebecca jumped in feet first finding happiness, confidence and clarity. Discovering a new passion and purpose, she started volunteering and coaching in Squamish, BC. In 2019, after relocating to the Comox Valley, she joined the coaching team of Gravity MTB. She quickly fell into the role of ‘Stoke Spreader’ and her story started to inspire others.

In 2020, Rebecca hosted Pinkbike’s Share The Ride Program in the Comox Valley, which saw fourteen deserving children receive brand new bikes, helmets and coaching. To this day, if you ask her, she will say it was her greatest achievement.
