THE PROMOTERS.
The promoters behind the Parkview Cycling Festival are
also the founders of the Fort Wayne, IN-based cycling club,
Men of Steel Racing. MoSR hopes to do for classic bicycles
what vintage auto racing has done for collector cars. The
Parkview Cycling Festival is one of the few cycling events in
the country to dedicate one race for steel frames only. Jim
Kruse and John Martin have an awesome sense of
community and entrepreneur spirit. Their goal is to help
preserve the history of their sport and secure its future by
promoting the health, fitness and fun of cycling.
Jim Kruse
Jim has an affinity for anything vintage; cars, motorcycles
and old racing bicycles. He started in organized racing
bicycles at the age of 11 but quit at 14 "so my mom could
sleep at night." He then turned to competitive running in
high school. After graduating from IPFW, he went to work for
a Fortune 200 company. His job led him to Seattle,
Washington, in 2002 to manage a collector car insurance
division for Aon Corporation. In 2006, he started his own
company with his wife, focused on insuring collector cars.
Jim is a familiar face in the collector car industry and so are
his vintage vehicles. He continues to race bikes
competitively with the Men of Steel Racing Team.
John Martin
Growing up in a farming community in Indiana, a bike was
simply a way for John to get to the park to play basketball.
When his NBA career didn't pan out, he just kept riding.
John started racing competitively while attending Purdue
University, but it wasn't until after college that he got hooked
into the racing scene. He "retired" from corporate America to
focus on his wife and two kids. When he's not riding, racing
or promoting cycling, he's busy as a Sunday School teacher,
a volunteer and assistant teacher at his kids' school, an
assistant flag football coach, the head cook and bottle
washer, a chauffeur, and a bike shop manager. John
continues to race bikes competitively with the Men of Steel
Racing Team.
Mylien Kruse
Mylien enjoys cycling from the sidelines. She manages the
technical details of MoSR, the events they promote, and the
design of the race team apparel. With more than 14 years
experience in broadcasting as a television reporter and
producer, Mylien is a valuable resource and advisor for
MoSR. Mylien has an eye for detail and design, which is why
she's passionate about vintage cars, clothes and
architecture. But she doesn't mind hanging out with guys
who shave their legs.
