Alison Littlefield
Owner

Bio
Alison gradually fell into her role at Contender Bicycles. Shortly after starting to race on the road, she met Ryan on the way out to the local criterium series. After they married, Alison continued to race bicycles and establish her career as an engineer. Experiencing some success racing, Alison decided to put her career on hold and race bicycles full-time. However, a severe spinal injury resulted in multiple surgeries which derailed her plans in cycling. In between surgeries and during recovery, Alison started to work at the shop. Over the years, her role has steadily grown to where she is now an integral part of Contender Bicycles. With her recovery behind her, she still loves to ride and feels lucky to still be on the bike. Like Ryan, she enjoys spending as much time as possible with their twin girls, Dylan and Hannah, and their corgi Tia.

Ryan, co-owner of Contender Bicycles alongside Alison since 1999, has been an integral part of the shop for over three decades. Starting at Contender in 1988 during high school, Ryan witnessed and contributed to the shop's transformation into one of the largest and most respected bike shops in the country. While both Alison and Ryan boast a competitive racing background, they have embraced e-bikes not only as sellers but as enthusiasts. The Littlefields, parents to twin daughters and a rescue Corgi named Tia, have made cycling more accessible through their dedication to Contender and their love for e-bikes.
