Conrad Ronalds, Owner

For nearly three decades, I've been proving that Ottawa and Montreal winters are no match for a dedicated cyclist. Since 1996, I've had the privilege of working at RentaBike alongside my father and more recently my son, making cycling a true family tradition that spans three generations.

Since joining RentABike in 2020, I have taken on an expanding range of responsibilities across operations and management. Working hands-on within the business has provided invaluable experience and a deep understanding of how RentABike functions day to day. I have been especially focused on implementing new systems and refining workflows to improve efficiency and customer experience. Having learned from the first generation, I am excited to help carry forward RentABike’s legacy and contribute to its continued growth under Polaris.
