Leigh Dobbins Johnson ’78 Leigh Dobbins Johnson ’78 has opened a second business called TidalWheel Indoor Cycling. “I knew I wanted to open a cycling studio in the back of my business, the Shops at 5807, at Patterson & Libbie,” she says. “By chance, an equipment vendor suggested I might contact Ryan Kelly and Mike Timms who had a similar business model in Virginia Beach. We talked, we met, we knew we had a good idea. I was really lucky to partner with them and take advantage of their knowledge and expertise garnered through the opening of their first studio. We were able to avoid some pitfalls and streamline the business. Of course, the main ingredient is our incredible instructors and staff. They really provide an amazing workout, and we’re thrilled that Richmond riders have been so welcoming to us! Come take us for a test ride. For more info, please visit www.tidalwheel.com.”
