Damian started as a Saturday boy and loved the company so much he bought the business; all seven floors of it!
Damian competes each winter in the London Cross League as part of our ever growing 'Race Team' that we are proud to say has a significant presence at each event. Damian is also a keen endurance rider, often taking part in challenging events like the 'Ride 100', as well as training camps in the high mountains. As you can expect Damian is extremely well qualified practically and technically, as both a Cytech mechanic level 3 and Level 2 Trek Bikefitter; a level of experience that few stores can rival.
He also knows what's in every drawer, in every room, on every floor; so if you need one of those hard to find widgets that they stopped making in 'the hot summer of '76' then he's your man. Sign in and follow Damian on Strava.
Favourite Coffee, Classic Americano with full fat milk.
Amy is a qualified Cytech Level 2 mechanic, passing with the highest grades on her entire course, beating all the men!
In 2017 Amy she was one of the UK 2017 BikeBiz top 30 under 30 winners; well done Amy. Like Damian she competes in the London Cross league throughout the winter for team. During the summer she competes in Triathlons and is an unofical honoury member of Tri Surrey, she also competes in Time Trials, Hill Climbs and Sportives. Sign in and follow her on Strava.
Favourite Coffee, normally known to freestyle with something new, something with marshmallows, something with honeycomb, but normally something that has Paul and Damian shaking their heads in disbelief at the youth of today!

Favourite Coffee, Cortado or a cheeky espresso.
Giles runs the 'IT' department; which means that Damian and Paul spend most of the time thinking he is talking 'Klingon'!
Yes yes yes the younger members of the team although completely understand what he's talking about are generally more excited that Giles normally has a healthy supply of cakes; player! Sharing the cakes means that he's still light enough to get airborne on his trusty Cannondale.
Favourite Coffee is errrrrr; tea!
