About Velo Smart Performance Lab
Dr. Greg Combs is a professor of the Sport Management program at Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC, owner of May Street Bicycles and is a consultant for elite military personnel, coaches, cyclists, and triathletes. He has over 35 years of experience in training, competing, and coaching cycling and other endurance events.
He caught the triathlon bug while serving in the U.S. Army Rangers in 1984. During his service with the Rangers, Combs competed and coached fellow Rangers in the Best Ranger Competition in 1985, 1986 and 1988. To better prepare for the Best Ranger Competition, he competed in numerous half ironman triathlon events as well as USA Cycling races.
As a Category 1 USA Cyclist, Greg represented the United States Army in the World Class Athlete Program for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, and numerous international events throughout Europe. His team won the Bronze medal at the 1996 Summer Olympic Trials in the 4km Team Pursuit. At the same time, he worked extensively with athletes with physical challenges and competed with (as a pilot on a tandem bike) and mentored visually impaired athletes for the 1996 Summer Paralympics.
While he was completing his doctoral studies at the University of Northern Colorado, Greg founded and coached the collegiate cycling club there. Through his guidance and inspiration, he was able to help this start up club qualify for the National Collegiate Cycling Championships within its first season. Dr. Combs was also instrumental in enabling Handcycling to become recognized as a cycling category within USA Cycling. In 1998, Greg was the Head Coach for the U.S. Handcycling Team at the World Paralympic Cycling Championships at Colorado Springs.
During his USA Cycling Elite Coaching career, Greg worked with numerous athletes and over 30 of his clients have achieved elite status. Greg has also worked with fellow coaches and former Olympians in conducting individual and team training programs, bike fitting workshops and cycling clinics. His areas of interest are in proper rider positioning, biomechanics, nutrition, and metabolic testing. He takes a holistic approach to bike fitting as a certified yoga instructor, researcher and practitioner of methods to assess and correct repetitive strain injuries, pelvic asymmetry and muscle imbalances. Greg is also a student of muscle energy technique, Postural restoration, Pendlay Olympic Weight Lifting, and Westside Barbell Conjugate Method.
