Employee Spotlight: Matt McCluskey - The Face of the East Coast Shop

If you haven't had the pleasure of dealing with McCluskey, then you haven't experienced life yet. McCluskey has a pure joy for all things cycling related and will bend over backwards in order to stoke any customer out. Don't let that carbon fiber leg fool you either - he'll likely smoke you on any gravel race East of the Mississippi. 

Job Title: Face of the Pennsylvania Store and THE Gravel King Extraordinaire.

What is the craziest thing you have ever done: Drove solo from Moab, UT to Detroit, MI straight through because I got my days mixed up on a mountain bike vacation.

If you could ride any bike on our showroom, it would be: In PA, the OPEN U.P. (of course!)

What is your favorite part about working at Worldwide Cyclery: BIKES!  Helping customers find their perfect bike, components or accessories.

Favorite non MTB activity: Riding my Gravel bike all over the U.S. exploring new roads. (Hey, it's a non MTB activity)

Drink of choice: Dr. Pepper.

You can usually catch me listening to: 90's Grunge. (I am the Gen-Xer of WWC) and Soundtrack Music (Hans Zimmer, John Williams, etc.)

Favorite line from a movie: "Tell 'em McCluskey! Tell 'em what time it is!" - Tropic Thunder (Watch here)

Typical weekend activities include: Cycling! DUH! Maybe a kayak on the lake from time to time.

You can eat one meal for the rest of your life, what is it: Pulled Pork Nachos with the fixin's! (OW! My Heart!)

If you could hang out with one person for a day (who doesn't have to be alive) who would it be and why: My dog Tilley. She passed too soon and she was a great Chocolate Lab. (Not a person, I know.)

Name 3 things on your bucket list: Ride to the top of Alpe d'huez, Ride the Dirty Kanza 200, Sell the house and Travel the USA in an RV with my wife.

Any words of wisdom or closing thoughts: Your day is better if you ride a bike. Even a grocery run. So ride a bike everyday.
