Way back when I was a little boy, at the age of 12. I was a paper boy,with about 5 of us delivering the local papers. All of us needing our bikes working in top condition. (The job fell on my shoes).

When I was 15 years old I started racing and had a new wheel built by a local bike shop. After talking to the staff I left with my parents and said that i would like to work there when i left school. which is where my professional career began. 

2015 came and I had decided to go my own way. Setting up ATW Cycle Repairs. Getting involved in lots of events like. Dr bikes, Race events with semi pro teams, working with the Council setting up the bike Kitchen with Pam. The shop was going really well. Then covid hit.

36 years later and I am still living my passion working in the cycle trade and not only fixing bikes but making them work for the individual.
