Jeff Frehner, the former president and chief executive of Cannondale Sports Group, has been named the new president of Planet Bike, the maker of bicycle accessories. He left Cannondale, a division of Dorel Industries, last September as the company moved its headquarters from Madison, WI, to Bethel, CT.

 

He had been with Dorel's
Pacific Cycle since 2001, where he served as general counsel before becoming
president after company founder Chris Hornung retired in 2006.

 

Since its inception in 1996, Planet Bike has believed that
the bicycle can improve our environment and our quality of life. Therefore,
each year it has donated at least 25 percent of profits to causes that promote
and facilitate the use of bicycles. Since its founding, Planet Bike has donated
more than $660,000 to the grassroots advocacy movement.
