About Richard

A Lifelong Passion for Bicycles and Mechanics For as long as I can remember, bicycles have been a part of my life. Growing up in the UK in the 1970s, I spent my early teens delivering newspapers after school. Along my route, I often noticed old bicycles leaning against walls or tucked away in garages and sheds. Curious, I started asking about them and soon found myself acquiring, repairing, and reselling bikes. That experience sparked my lifelong love for all things mechanical. As I got older, my passion naturally expanded to motorcycles and cars. After leaving school, I became a mechanic for a construction company, where I repaired everything from cars and semi-trucks to heavy equipment like CATs and dump trucks. I completed a five-year apprenticeship, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of machines. Fast forward 40 years, and my love for bicycles has never faded. It all came full circle when friends started asking me to repair their bikes. Word spread, and soon someone suggested I turn this into a service for others. That idea led to what is now a thriving business, built on expertise, attention to detail, and a passion for quality bike care. Now in our fourth year, we’ve built a loyal customer base, and we’re always happy to welcome new riders looking for expert service. Whether it’s a simple tune-up or a full restoration, I take pride in keeping bicycles running smoothly and safely for everyone who loves to ride.

So here we are, I came full circle in my career back to bicycles and now in our 4th year, we have a regular loyal customer base and will always welcome new ones.
