My name is Peter Disera and I have been racing mountain bikes since 2007. Cycling has always held a special place in my life since high school. I started riding at Hardwood Ski & Bike and progressed through the different theatres of mountain biking as I got older. From 2012-2023 I competed at the international level on the World Cup circuit as well as other international, continental and domestic events. In 2021 I obtained my goal of representing Canada at the Olympics in Tokyo despite the delay due to Covid. As my career changes going into 2024 and I step back from international competition I look forward to competing at events around my home in British Columbia and in North America. With this transition I look forward to having more time to focus on mentoring and coaching younger athletes as I have done with teammates in the past.

In late 2018 I graduated from the University of Guelph where I was enrolled in Water Resources Engineering. My final year design project dealt with thermal mitigation of storm-water pond effluent into cold water tributaries.

I ride bikes fast for the rush of pushing the limits of control – going fast enough that you’re out of control, but not crashing. As of 2024, I look forward to having more time to enjoy winter and discover more of the Vancouver Island back-country on skis. That’s pretty much all about me – p.s. crunchy peanut butter, not smooth.
