Name: Simon Weir
Role: Mechanic
Experience: I am an endurance enthusiast of all kinds. My studies in Mathematics at the University of Melbourne forced me into swimming, riding and running as an act of sanity.

Cycling has been a lifelong passion that will only foresee-ably deepen with time.
Expertise: Bikes, bikes, bikes!! And everything endurance!
What do you love about bikes?: The journey! You haven't been to a place until you have rode a bike there!
