Name: Matthew Wherry
Role: Sales Consultant
Experience: With nearly 20 years in the retail industry, I am excited to bring that experience and customer service skills to 99 Bikes.
Expertise: I've been riding bikes since I was a kid growing up in Minnesota, USA. I was fortunate enough to live in a place that has an abundance of bike paths and trails for a kid to ride. While the majority of my riding was done on road bikes as I grew older, I have done some trail riding as well.
What do you love about bikes?: I love the freedom a bike gives you. As a kid it was a way to go places without mom or dad, and now being on a bike it is a way to just get away from the world for a while. Nothing better than the wind in your face and watching the road go by as you pedal to whatever your destination may be.
Current Bikes: Looking to upgrade to a Merida Scultura 4000.
Favourite Ride: Best ride I've been on was when I did RAGBRAI in America, which is a week long road ride across the state of Iowa.

Name: Adrian Burke
Role: Sales Consultant
Experience: I have ridden bikes all my life and in recent years have started riding an eMTB. Before starting at 99Bikes in November 2019, I owned and operated 2 Domino's Pizza stores where I maintained a fleet of 6 electric delivery bikes
Expertise: Electric bikes and mountian bikes, in particular eMTB
What do you love about bikes?: I've always loved riding but having recently moved to East Perth, the best thing about having a bike here is not having to worry about traffic and parking! Living in the city, I love looking at my GPS and seeing the travel times by cycling are usually faster than driving. In my free time, there's nothing better than hitting the trails on my e-mountain bike
Current Bikes: Norco Sight VLT A1, XDS E-Conic cruiser, Free agent BMX
Favourite Ride: You yangs and Lysterfield in Melbourne
