Workshop Coordinator and Instructor

Biography

As coordinator of Cardiff Cycle Workshop since we began in 2010 I have gained experience of many different bikes, as well as qualifying as a Velotech Platinum and Cytech Level 3 technician along the way.

I have been obsessed with bikes since I was a kid, when my Grandfather used to take me to the events he would organise with his cycling club. I do a lot of riding, mostly off-road these days as I am less fond of mixing it with fast moving traffic than I used to be. For this you’ll find me aboard my new Surly Midnight Special adventure bike or Stanton Sherpa 29er. Other members of the fleet include an audax bike and a commuter. All in steel, I just like the way it rides!

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Great to see people who take real pride in what they do. Pricing is very fair and turn around is efficient.

I had an amazing time here! Russ and Andy were super helpful, I was able to test out multiple bikes and get all the expert advice I needed to be sure in my choice. They were very kind and welcoming! I would definitely recommend getting a bike here!!

Just brilliant! First time using this brilliant place and I love everything about it. Popped my son’s bike down to look at the brakes and fixed it within seconds. I’ll definitely be heading taking all our bikes there for repair and services. Guys were all super helpful and lovely. What a find!!

Just had a great experience from the team at Cardiff Cycle Workshop. They always do a thorough job but recently went above and beyond on my Specialized gravel bike. It had a very specific, proprietary headset that was difficult to maintain. But with perseverance the bike now works flawlessly! Highly recommended.

Very supportive and non judgemental tutor, also the venue is really easy by public transport or bike!
