Founder & Marketeer

Cycling Club: Currently SES Racing (dormant member). Previous clubs, Bonito Squadra Corse and London Phoenix CC. 

Having lived in London for 15 years, it was the bicycle that got me from A to B, I would commute and travel everywhere by bike in all seasons. 

Riding fixed on track was the thing that got me hooked, I'm a huge fan of the velodrome; HHV Wednesday's track league, their open events & weekend training sessions. I then moved North of the river and hit the indoor boards with the Full Gas Track League at LVVP. Fun times and the best days. 

Rob and I soon decided to opt out of the corporate world to start our new venture together; creating a cycling café in Bedfordshire.

We can now be found serving coffee and cake, so come say hi.
