From an early age, Peter Ollerhead has been involved with bicycles through competing in races and organizing cycling events. Peter has experience racing at a national level, cycling for Team Newfoundland and Labrador in the 2001 Canada Summer Games.

As well, Peter completed level 1-theory instructor's course in bicycling and is actively involved as a volunteer for the Kids of Steel bicycle camps each summer. In addition to this, he started a mountain bike racing series within the local schools to introduce kids to mountain biking at an early age.
