Matthew Wiebe is a San Francisco-based architect and competitive cyclist, balancing his dual passions with remarkable dedication. After a youth spent racing mountain bikes at the U23 Elite level in Colorado, Wiebe stepped away from the sport to focus on his architectural career. Now an associate at Arcanum Architecture, he has over a decade of experience designing spaces that harmonize with their environments while maintaining a strong creative vision.

In 2024, Wiebe made a triumphant return to competitive cycling, focusing on gravel racing as part of the PAS Racing team. Known for his 5:00 am weekday rides and effortless climbing ability, he achieved notable results, including a confidence-boosting performance at The Growler. This success reignited his competitive spirit and set the stage for an ambitious 2025 season filled with gravel events.

Wiebe’s love for cycling is deeply tied to San Francisco’s unique landscape. He often highlights the city’s unparalleled routes, blending urban scenery with natural beauty, such as Mount Tamalpais and the Marin Headlands. Reflecting on his journey, Wiebe describes his reintroduction to cycling as both challenging and rewarding, embodying his philosophy of finding growth “within the suffering.” As he looks ahead to 2025, Wiebe continues to inspire through his seamless integration of athletic and professional pursuits.
