Gerard Vroomen (born March 1971) is a dutch born industrial designer and the owner of Open Cycle. He was previously the co-founder of Cervélo & the now-defunct Cervelo TestTeam. He left the operational side of Cervelo in May 2011. Since February 2012, he has been the part-time business development advisor for Cervelo’s new owner, the Pon Bicycle Group.
Cervélo
Phil White and Gérard Vroomen founded Cervélo in 1995 when their design for a new time trial bicycle failed to garner interest from traditional bicycle manufacturers. Today, Cervélo is the largest triathlon bike manufacturer in the world[citation needed] and partnered with the triathlon team, Team TBB, and the road cycling team, Team Garmin-Barracuda.
Readers of VeloNews, CycleSport, Inside Triathlon and Slowtwitch voted Cervélo as the #1 brand they intended to purchase in 2011.[1]
Open Cycle
Gerard Vroomen (Co-founder of Cervélo) and Andy Kessler (Former CEO of BMC), have partnered together in a business called Open. They claim the O-1.0 to be the lightest 29-inch production hardtail on the market.[2]
