Favorite type of riding?

I’m a street rider at heart, I like getting to where I need to go- as fast as possible!

Reason You Ride?
At first, It was to drop a couple of KGs. Then, 30 kilos later, I couldn’t stop myself from flying past cars in peak hour traffic, rubbing shoulders with buses and getting car doored on Sydney Road.

Favorite Victorian bike trail/route?
Great Ocean Road

Most Memorable Ride?
My first AlleyCat was my first time fiding fixed. Heading up the carpark was fun, fast and grueling, heading down was funner, faster and landing me in hospital with a broken arm.

Dream Cycling Destination:

I’ve dreamed of doing a solo trip around the country for 10 years. I’m still convinced it’ll happen, even heading into my 30s.

Post-Ride Go-To Food:

Banh mi, but TBH, I’d smash a banh mi after almost any activity.

E-Motors (Factory) - Bosch, Shimano, Fauza, Bafang?

I’m yet to own a bike with a street legal motor, but Bosch has all the support I’d need I reckon

E-Motors (After-market); CYC, Grin Tech, Bafang?

CYC is ma boi. Serviceable and speedy.

Shimano or Sram?

Brakes…..gears……no thanks, not right now.

Initial Perception of E-Bikes (before any experience with them):

My first experience with E-Bikes was as a mechanic repairing Electric pedicabs. I didn’t know what I was in for, it was a steep learning curve, but I got there and I’ve been with E-Bikes ever since

Thoughts on E-Bikes Now:
They’re here to stay.

Favorite beverage?
Cawfee

It’s your turn to put music in the store, what goes on?
Some hip hop, just have to keep it clean enough for the customers.
