Name: Ethan O'Dell
Role: Team Leader
Experience: Over 12 years in the bicycle retail industry. I competed in road and track cycling from when I was 12 until about 21. I was lucky enough to be able to represent QLD at many national titles in this time and ride along side some of the best in Australia. Although I don’t race any more I still love everything bikes from the off road trails to the cruise beach days.
Expertise: Road and track cycling but bit of a bike nerd.
What do you love about bikes?: I love that bikes can be a great solution to anything from someones health to the congestion on the roads to the state of the environment. Everyone can enjoy riding no matter your age or fitness level these days. I love the development we are seeing in E-Bikes at the moment and think that this is a huge step forward in bikes of the future.
Current Bikes: Merida Scultura.
Favourite Ride: Back home in Brisbane QLD there is a road loop well known as the River Loop, awesome scenery, plenty of brew stops, this would be my favourite ride.
