Robert Thibert
Chair, Secondary School Teacher
Rob is a 28 year experienced science teacher at Riverside Secondary School in Windsor. He has always used cycling as a form of fitness, however he discovered the joys of cycling as a low stress way of commuting to work, and to gather his thoughts on lengthy weekend excursions. If you see him staring, he’s probably looking at someone’s bike… just because they’re awesome!

Philippa von Zeigenweidt
Treasurer
A native of Holland, Philippa has been riding bikes all her life and is passionate about cycling from an environmental perspective. Given Windsor’s flat landscape and mild climate, it’s a no-brainer to her to use her bike instead of the car for trips under 10km most months of the year. A qualified Chartered Accountant in South Africa, she no longer practises professionally, but keeps the books for several non-profits.
