Biography

I started cycling after coming out of hospital at age 8yrs old having spent 3yrs there with problems with my hips. This was the start of many adventures! As a cyclist I really took to touring; riding around England and Wales,  across France to Montpellier and around Brittany. Flying the bike out to Portugal and Greece, cycling on Corfu, Cyprus and Crete and on the mainland up to the Albania border. Cycling around southern Ireland and riding Lands End to John o Groats in 1999 to coincide with the solar eclipse. My last tour was the length of New Zealand, bikepacking for 6 weeks.

I am now a Volunteer Supervisor at CCW, I have a Velotech Gold qualification and I teach Level 1 and 2 courses here. I’m also a qualified Cycle Instructor, level 3 Mountain Bike Instructor and work as a youth worker of Cardiff council.

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!!

Marietta Price

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.

Alan Bell

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