Former pro cyclist Rusty Miller knows the importance of the bicycle and how it can changed one's life for the better. As team director of the newly formed EF Education-ONTO junior racing team, he wants to give younger riders the opportunities that he didn’t have when he was coming up through the pro cycling ranks in the early aughts.

Miller, a Greenville, South Carolina native, began racing bikes early in life and stayed in Greenville to attend Furman University where he created a ‘cycling team of one.’ After realizing that a pro cycling career was something he wanted to pursue, Miller worked hard to join the Zaxby’s Pro Cycling Team in 2000, after graduating with a B.A. in Psychology in 1998.
