PROPER LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Founder, free racer and in house linguist.
Sam Ralton
Sam’s unlimited enthusiasm for riding bikes is only a conversation away, believe us when we say this excitement is only matched by the effort he pours into the store and the employees that are practically family under Sam’s roof” - Josh B
Shop Manager, Skills coach legend and the most tattoo’d man on Cannon St.
Sam Fowler
“An integral part of Bristol mountain bike scene, I first bumped into Sam in the woods around 20 years ago. I think he has single handedly done more for Bristol mountain biking than any other individual” - Oz NM
Head Mechanic, dog whisperer and chainless shredder
Oscar Newton-Mason
“With over 20 years wrenching on bikes, including those of some big name riders on the race circuit, his passion and attention to detail mean that what Oscar doesn’t know about bike mechanics isn’t worth knowing” - Fowler
International freestyle athlete and in house media guy
Alfie Stephens
“Veteran of the UK scene with the face of an angel, probably why his style is so heavenly. One of the most talented riders around with a personality that suggests he doesn’t know it. Always happy to help and stoked to ride. Ask him about Keith Allen” -Oli
Workshop Mechanic, sign writer and team tattooist
Josh Bryan
“His positivity is infectious. His knowledge is beyond reasonable and his passion for commuting is inspiring” - Alf
Saturday crew and local shredder
George Grenham
“Once spotted riding from Bristol to Fort William to watch Laurie Greenland race World Champs carrying a tent and a homemade banner, yes they made it. ,“ -Eti
The ultimate part timer, worldwide Friction promoter and international comedic sensation.
Oliver Paton
“When he’s not running the Malvern Classics, you might spot him in store, cracking jokes, selling socks and cheering everybody up. If you are lucky enough to catch him. You won’t forget it and you won’t regret it!” - Alf
