who are we
Gary
- Gary, the owner, was an International swimmer for Great Britain and England in the 80's before beginning a career in triathlon, which saw him complete various races from sprint distance to Ironman all over the world. His love of all types of sport has given him a great insight into what makes an athlete tick and he enjoyed much success as a coach in the UK, turning athletes into National Champions and he now coaches both swimmers and triathletes from the local area. He has been involved in the triathlon scene for over 14 years, so has seen many developments in the cycling arena and is well placed to give advice. Gary currently rides a gorgeous hand-built Italian beauty - a 2008 carbon Bianchi 928 SL - and organises road bike rides from the shop on Saturday's. Just click on the link for road squad for further information on these rides.
Pete
- Pete the mechanic has been with the shop for over 12 years. Pete's love is all things mechanical and he enjoys motorbike riding as well as his mountain biking and BMX riding so his knowledge in this area is vast. He is well known by all the local riders and is highly respected for his skills and abilities both in the workshop and also out on the trails and skate parks where he rides. Mechanically there is nothing that Pete cannot do so if your bike needs a repair, service or an upgrade then he is the man to come and see.
Craig
- Craig is a relatively recent addition to the ts family! With the shop getting so popular, we needed another mechanic and Craig is that man. He is a well-known biker around the area and he has ridden downhill competitively for about the last 6 years. He has been studying intensely in recent times which has interfered somewhat with his racing ambitions but he plans to return to racing in the 2008 season. He is currently riding a Specialized P3, a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert and a Specialized Demo 8. Craig will be bringing his extensive knowledge and expertise to the shop floor as well as the workshop.
