Meet the couple, Melissa Gallegos and Edgardo Munoz, founders of 0S3 Movement.
Edgardo Muñoz and Melissa Gallegos
Melissa Gallegos and Edgardo Munoz are both:
Spanish speakers
Year round bike commuters
Complete Street supporters
Road and MTB racers
Parents
Certified bike coaches
Community leaders
Love to wear green
Passionate for their community
Bi-national initiatives supporters
They like to ride bikes. A lot.
Edgardo and Melissa believe that bicycles are much more than tangible things or toys. They see bikes as powerful tools in promoting independence, freedom, confidence and stronger, better-connected communities “reliable and autosuficient way of transportation”. Whether it’s commuting to work year-round or riding to the store, bikes are a huge part of their family’s lives.
Through cycling, Edgardo discovered a world of new possibilities: it helped him become a better, more responsible citizen, achieve mental and physical wellness, connect with nature, and find financial stability. After riding alone for over a year, he began crossing paths with old friends who noticed a change, asking him, ‘You look great, what’s your secret?’ This inspired him to share his journey and the lessons he learned while overcoming difficult times, including depression, health issues, and economic struggles. More than two years into this mission, he met Melissa Gallegos, who joined him as Co-Founder to help expand this vision.
The story of 0S3 began with a shared passion for the outdoors. At first, we were running, hiking, and simply looking for ways to stay active and connected with our community. Then, bikes entered the picture—and they stayed for good.
We began using social media to invite people to join our rides and activities. On that very first day, a group of two grew to four, bringing together Karla Osete and Jesus Hernandez, who clicked instantly to form a small but solid core. They quickly established a golden rule: whenever someone new joined the group, they had to invite another person. That simple rule sparked an unstoppable chain reaction—our very own ‘Big Bang’ that started it all.
Today, 0S3 Movement has grown to become much more than just people getting rid of their daily stress pedaling or just socializing. From a community bike ride “FNR” to a competitive team to youth empowerment projects to educational programming including Summer Bike Camp, Bike2School, Fix2Own, Adopt A Bike, the 1st youth MTB team representing our communities at a state level “0S3 Reptilians Youth Cycling Team“, various community events and the ambitious construction of the Monte Carlo Trails & Bike Park, 0S3 Movement is developing happy, healthy, ready to learn kids and building stronger, better connected and more walk / bike communities by empowering the young and young at heart.
