Cyd started riding at 6 years
old on a Yamaha PW 50. Complete with a sticker saying “When in
doubt, gas it!” the PW 50 putted all over Eastern Oregon with
Cyd at the throttle. As the older daughter of Bob and Belle, Cyd
was constantly surrounded by dirt bikes and good riding buddies,
including her younger sister. Without brothers, Cyd and her
sister grew up as little tomboys who loved nothing more than
riding their motorcycles. |

Living in Oregon as a kid, Cyd rode her bike all over the state.
She was often found camping with her family in Eastern Oregon,
over in Idaho, up in Washington’s Gifford Pinchot National
Forest, and as far south as the Mojave Desert in California.
Everything from tight, technical woods trails, to open desert
washes and rock obstacles delighted Cyd with new challenges!
As she grew older and her riding skills developed rapidly, Cyd
seemed to outgrow her bikes faster each year. The PW 50 was
quickly replaced by a Yamaha PW 80, only to see Cyd move up to a
Honda XR 100 in a few short years! After learning how to use the
clutch on her XR, Cyd was ready for her first 2-stroke bike!
Belle’s Kawasaki KX 100 was handed down to provide high-speed
fun in a lightweight bike. As the KX’s peppy nature often got
Cyd in trouble on the trail, she soon opted for a Yamaha TTR 125
that was more suited for technical riding. With an ever-growing
need for more speed and power, yet limited by her 5’ 1” height,
Cyd finally hopped on a 2005 Yamaha TTR 230 and has been riding
it since! |

Any weekend spent camping and riding with the family was always
a good time. Many of Cyd’s most cherished childhood memories
include her adventures on her dirt bikes over the years. Long
road trips to find awesome riding terrain in California, Idaho,
and even Utah, shaped Cyd’s love of travel and developed within
her a desire to explore the rest of the US and eventually, the
world. |

As you can see, Cyd has been around and a part of the motorcycle
industry since she was born. As a member of the Reinen
household, packing boxes and sorting gas tanks for CycleBuy was
on her list of daily duties. Since she started so young, Cyd has
an extensive knowledge about the products CycleBuy has carried
over the years and continues to sell today.
Working at CycleBuy exposes Cyd to all kinds of fun and
innovative products to customize her TTR 230. She loves her
Fastway Footpegs, and the Enduro Engineering handguards are
essential! Battles with trees happen far too often with Cyd
twistin’ the throttle! Along with Bob and Belle, Cyd is a proud
member of the CycleBuy product testing team, and if she can’t
break it, you know it’s sturdy. |

Though it’s her absolute favorite, dirt biking is not Cyd’s only
outdoor extreme sport. She spends the winter weekends
snowboarding and skates around on her longboard during the
warmer months. Cyd is even into occasional skydiving!
Nowadays, you’re likely to find Cyd tearing up the trails at
Starker Forest on her bike. A recent graduate of the Team Oregon
class, Cyd is working her way into the Dual Sport world. Her
parents, Bob and Belle are avid adventure riders, and Cyd just
can’t wait to join them! Though she’s always happy to meet new
riding buddies to explore the great northwest with. |
