Hed Cycling prospers under Anne Hed
By Neal St. Anthony, Star Tribune
Steve Hed, a bicycling enthusiast who made it a family business, would be very proud of the folks at Hed Cycling. “Steve would be proud of his family and employees,” said his widow and business partner, Anne Hed. “Business is phenomenal. A number of the products that were in their infancy when he died have taken off, including carbon-fiber wheels for fat-tire bikes.” Hed was an idea guy, a visionary and a tinkerer who started manufacturing solid-fiberglass wheels in a garage more than 25 years ago. Anne, a bike enthusiast and triathlete in the 1980s, met Steve in 1983. She became co-owner and business and production manager.
