2024 National Bike Summit Recap
Our Bikeflights event season shifted into high gear last week in Washington, DC at the 2024 National Bike Summit hosted by the League of American Bicyclists. Each spring, the Summit draws hundreds of bike advocates together from across the US to learn from and inspire each other to create more and safer opportunities for biking and walking.
Bikeflights Announces 2024 Brand Ambassadors
We’re pleased to introduce our roster of 2024 Bikeflights Brand Ambassadors and Sponsored Teams.
“What Bikeflights offers is hugely helpful in managing logistics, reducing stress and saving time and money for Ambassadors who are shipping their bikes or traveling the globe for races and events,” said Bikeflights Marketing Associate Kerry Werner, a former Bikeflights Ambassador who now coordinates Bikeflights’ Ambassador Program. “Given my own experience, I’m especially excited to welcome 32 individuals and two teams to represent Bikeflights this season.”
Meet Bikeflights Ambassador An-Mei Ellisor
Bikeflights Ambassador An-Mei Ellisor thrives on persevering. If something goes wrong in a race, she embraces the test of her mental strength, knowing it will only make her stronger to finish no matter what.
It’s not hard to pinpoint the genesis of this mentality. In the summer between sixth and seventh grade, An-Mei was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a blood cancer originating in the lymphatic system. Though it was caught early, An-Mei still had to endure chemotherapy, weight loss and losing her hair.
Needless to say, she persevered. And with a little help from her mountain bike team.
Bikeflights Becomes Tour De France Femmes Avec Zwift Official Service
Each summer, we eagerly await the start of the Tour de France, and more recently also the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. With every day’s stage, there’s the potential for excitement as the world’s best road racers vie for the glory of stage victories and the coveted maillot jaune (yellow jersey) of the overall race winner. So we couldn’t be more excited to announce that Bikeflights is now also a Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift Official Service.
“We’re pleased to extend Bikeflights’ relationship with Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) to both continue our support for the Tour de France and also expand it to include the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift,” said Sue George, Vice President of Bikeflights.

Meet Bikeflights Support Team Member Gina Perschbacher
Bikeflights is a global bike shipping service staffed by cyclists who love to help people ship their bikes. Whenever you chat, email or call us for support, you’re communicating with someone who can talk bikes and loves to ride, too. Here we profile Gina Perschbacher, our Orders Team Manager.
More than three years ago, Gina was a typical, casual Bikeflights customer, shipping a bike a few times a year for travel. But with a background in business development and sports management, she was always intrigued by the high level of customer service and the overall business model of Bikeflights.
“I thought it was such an interesting concept to provide such a cool service with exceptional customer service all while being remote,” she says. “It became a ‘dream job’ for me.”
