Carina Hamel of Bivo - Stainless Steel BikeWater Bottles - For Sport, Cycling and Run

What do moldy water bottles, elite skiing, and NASA engineers have in common?

Meet Carina Hamel, former professional Nordic skier turned entrepreneur and co-founder of Bivo, the stainless steel cycling bottle that’s transforming the way riders hydrate.

In this episode of Ride to Success, Carina shares her incredible journey—from racing with Team USA to launching a groundbreaking product disrupting the plastic-dominated cycling industry.

She opens up about:

• The mindset shift from athlete to business leader and mom

• The overlooked health risks of plastic and the science behind Bivo’s clean design

• Working with a former NASA engineer to develop a patented gravity-fed flow system

• Her global insights from product development in China and living in Norway

• Breaking down cycling’s barriers around gender, elitism, and access

• Building a brand rooted in sustainability, fun, and real community

Whether you're a cyclist, startup founder, or someone who values health-conscious design—Carina’s story will inspire you to rethink the way we build, lead, and ride.
