About Bernd Straehle

I grew up in Germany and then moved to Switzerland, where I obtained a doctoral degree in information management. A research scholarship brought me over to California, and eventually I settled down in Orange County with my lovely wife and our daughter. Professionally I am into software development, in my view one of the most creative things to do.

Back home it was common to commute by bike on a daily basis, regardless of weather. After several years of relative inactivity, I slowly rediscovered cycling via triathlon. These days I am riding around 6,000 miles per year, primarily for fun and fitness. I started TourOfCalifornia.org to share my passion about cycling, documenting some of my best rides.
