Pietro Policastro at the USNWC

Pietro is the Owner, Mechanic, Janitor, and two-wheeled Maniac of Boost Bike Shop.

An avid rider, Pietro discovered the joy of bikes a few years ago. Although he has only been biking a few years, he currently owns a beloved Mountain bike, a Fixed Gear steed, An abused BMX bike, an adventurous Gravel bike, and a relationship-testing Tandem bike.

​He first started in the bicycle industry by working for John Schanewolf of Schanewolf's Cycle Sport.
​He Graduated from Gardner-Webb in December of 2017 with a Bachelor's in Finance and Economics.
​

​John established Schanewolf Cycle Sports in 1994 and led a BMX biking team for more than 15 years, as well as a Bicycle Shop for 22 years.

During that time, he sponsored hundreds of kids and helped foster a love of the sport in them.

John is the inspiration for Boost Bike Shop and is where Pietro first began as a bicycle mechanic. Although he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on.
