Experience: I've worked in retail for about 10 years and have loved riding bikes since I was a kid so when I was looking for a job to support me through uni a few years ago I couldn't think of anything better than working at a bike shop.

Current Bikes: Merida eOne Sixty LTD, BMC Teammachine, Scott Scale, Cube 140 HPC Race, Fuji track bike
Favourite Ride: Ironbark trails are a good time, and you can't beat a classic riverloop
