Fresh Bikes is more than a shop. We ride together, give back together, and build the Atlanta MTB community together.
The Fresh Crew
The people in the shop.
Shawn Brunner
Owner & Founder
Shawn Brunner is the owner of Fresh Bike Service, Inc. and handles the day-to-day operations and management. With over 18 years in the bike industry, Shawn has worked as an Assistant Operations Manager at Yeti Cycles – one of the top bike manufacturers in the world.
He has published articles in cycling magazines and wrote several owners' manuals for Yeti Cycles. He has produced, directed, and starred in an instructional bicycle maintenance and repair DVD, "WRENCHED".
He has also served as neutral support at the Dirty Spokes and Chain Buster Endurance Series, served two years on the Board of Directors for RAMBO-SORBA, and was nominated for Roswell's 10U40, which honors Roswell's most exceptional young business leaders.
Bill Langham
Team Member & MTB Vets Founder
Retired Army First Sergeant Bill Langham served more than 22 years in the US Army, as an Airborne Ranger, Trainer, Mentor and Leader. Throughout his highly decorated career as a Non-Commissioned Officer, he conducted combat operations during Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
With transitioning into the civilian community, Bill found his identity slipping and his heart breaking with the loss of military friends by suicide. Mountain biking became his therapy and the mountain biking community his brotherhood.
Experiencing "trail therapy" firsthand, Bill knows it can and will help other veterans and thus, founded MTB Vets.

Ride DetailsWe Give Back to Our Veterans Through MTB Vets
Why We Ride
MTB Vets exists exclusively for our veterans. It's an honor and privilege to provide our veterans an outlet to seek health, happiness, and purpose through a mountain biking community of comrades. We ride – we thrive!
Who We Are
We are veterans who understand the potential challenges of transitioning into and thriving within the civilian community – the lack of purpose, the flashbacks to dark days and memories of good days, the longing for brotherhood camaraderie, and the loss of identity. We understand because we've been there, and we want to help because we've lost brothers to the darkness of those challenges.
As proud veterans and enthusiastic mountain bikers, we firmly believe in "trail therapy". The trail challenges the body, stimulates the mind, and soothes the soul … and your riding companions become family. You belong.
How You Can Help
To reach and provide for as many veterans as possible, we need your help! We graciously accept your donations of money, equipment, and/or time. Your donations help us provide not only our services, but also full equipment for riders in need.

Big Creek Park
Fresh Bikes has helped raise and donated thousands of dollars over the years for Big Creek Park. We partnered with RAMBO to create the Big Creek Quick Six Enduro — Georgia's first enduro race, RAMBO's most successful fundraiser, and a race that sells out in days. 100% of the proceeds go back to the park and trails.
In 2011 we helped build the Big Creek Pump Tracks, organising the initial $10,000 from the Virgil P. Warren Foundation and 20+ truck loads of good clay dirt that the local community rides to this day.
