, Illinois
. During Mionske's childhood, his family moved to Wisconsin
. When Mionske was seventeen, he spent the summer working for his father; at the end of the summer, he bought a new touring bike with his earnings. Mionske subsequently spent countless hours in the saddle of his touring bike, exploring the forests and lakes of Wisconsin. After graduating from Wilmot high school, Mionske enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison
, where he continued to ride a bike—an old cruiser
—for transportation around campus.
Bob's entry into competitive sports began during his university years, with ski racing. Mionske reports that one day in his Latin class at the University, he noticed that one of his classmates had the shaved legs typical of a bicycle racer. Mionske struck up a conversation about bicycle racing with his classmate, who was an amateur bike racer and worked for Andy Muzi at Yellow Jersey, a bike shop
in town. The classmate—Colin O'Brien, who later went on to set the national hour record in 1981, before joining the national team—gave Mionske advice about bicycles and racing.
Mionske began bicycle racing as a means to improve his fitness training for ski racing. However, he soon discovered that he was better at bicycle racing, and directed his energies towards bike racing from that point on. He began racing for amateur teams beginning in 1986. By 1987, Mionske was racing for Andy Muzi's Yellow Jersey team. In 1988, he tried out for the U.S. Olympic cycling team; his third-place win in the road racing trials garnered Mionske a spot on the U.S. team. Racing for the United States in the 1988 Summer Olympics
in Seoul
, Korea
, Mionske came in a close 4th, achieving the same time as the 3rd place winner, but losing the bronze medal by a tire's length. His performance at the 1988 Olympics was the best performance by an American cyclist at a "full-participation" Olympics (that is, an Olympics that had not been subject to a boycott) since 1912. In recognition of his achievement, the United States Cycling Federation honored Mionske by designating him as the U.S. Amateur Cyclist of the Year.
Following the 1988 Olympics, Mionske continued to race as an amateur. In 1990, he was the National Road Race Champion, after winning the U.S. National Championships in Albany, New York. On the heels of that victory, Mionske competed as a member of the United States World Championship Team in the UCI Amateur Road World Championships in Utsonomiya, Japan
. In 1991, Mionske competed in the Pan-American Games, held in Havana
, Cuba
, where he placed 6th in the Men's Individual Road Race as a member of the United States Pan-American Championship Team.
The following year, Mionske again tried out for the Olympic team, once more winning a spot on the U.S. Olympic Cycling Team. However, competing at the 1992 Summer Olympics
in Barcelona
, Spain
, Mionske was unable to repeat his 1988 performance. Nevertheless, he and teammate Timm Peddie
were able to assist their fellow teammate Lance Armstrong
to a 14th-place finish.
In 1993, Mionske became a professional racer when the team he was riding for, Team Saturn, transitioned from an amateur to a professional team. Mionske won 8 races during the 1993 racing season; at the end of the 1993 season, Mionske retired from racing, but continued with Team Saturn as Team Director for the 1994 racing season. Mionske then left racing behind, entering law school at Willamette University College of Law
.
In 1999, Mionske opened his own law practice, the first in the nation focused exclusively on representing cyclists
. With his extensive background in bicycle racing, Mionske has represented professional racers David Zabriskie
, Michael Barry
, Dede Barry
, Tom Danielson
, and Kevin Livingston
, as well as amateur racers, bicycle commuters
, messengers
, and recreational cyclists. In describing the cyclist-centered focus of his practice, Mionske coined the term "bicycle law
".
In 2001, Mionske authored the legal analysis section in Bicycle Accident Reconstruction for the Forensic Engineer. The following year, Mionske began writing Legally Speaking for VeloNews—the first and only periodical column on bicycle law. In 2007, Mionske authored Bicycling & the Law, the first book on bicycle law written for cyclists since the publication of The Road Rights and Liabilities of Wheelmen
in 1895. Mionske penned his final Legally Speaking column in February, 2009; he subsequently began writing Road Rights, a new column on bicycle law for Bicycling Magazine.

Quotes
- Lance Armstrong: "He'll do anything to get your attention off the race."
- Roy Knickman: "He was just a fighter on the bike. Very strong, very powerful. He could fight on the climbs and sprint with the best. Very few people have done that in American cycling."
- Robert Egger: "I loved racing criteriums and time trials; I was Wisconsin state time trial champion a couple times, and raced with another Wisconsinite, Bob Mionske, who competed at the 1988 and 1992 Summer Olympics. He's now a lawyer in Portland. When I first met him he was riding a custom bike built by Mike Appel. He came from a skiing background - crazy, no fear. He didn't know jack about bikes, though. One time we were riding and he didn't realize the gooey stuff on his wheels was from the tubular glue. Another time he complained about his brakes making too much noise; I checked out his calipers and he had worn the pads down to the metal! He was crazy; physically not the strongest, but mentally, the toughest guy I've seen on a bike."
- John Loehner, M.D.: "I had the pleasure (and pain) of racing with and against some incredibly talented people. Armstrong (pre-cancer of course), Julich, Grewal, Steve Larson, Darren Baker, Bart Bowen, the McCormack Brothers, and some big name euro pros - all of which deserve respect in their own right and most for more than one reason. Choosing one is difficult and unfair to many. However, if I have to pin down one rider my vote would have to go to Bob Mionske. We were teammates for a year and we were roommates for a number of the trips as well. His racing career speaks for itself regarding his talent and ability to win in pressure situations. He used psychology as well as his legs to win races and riled up a lot of people doing that. However, his sense of self - knowing who he was, weaknesses and strengths, tenacity, willingness to fulfill any role to succeed, and no BS attitude was among the highest I have come across."
