Meet the Team

  • Name: Richard ⚡ 

    Role: Team Leader

    Experience: I've spent 30+ years in retail, sales & marketing and retail operations roles. During this time I've been involved in re-branding projects, growing sales, product development and have opened many new retail locations for various companies. I really enjoy the opportunity to work in all areas of a business and get to know the people and the inner workings of what makes things tick and how to improve the business and create unique and enjoyable customer experiences. 

    Expertise: Always learning and like to try and provide great customer service each and every time.

    What do you love about bikes: In my younger days bikes were simply a means of getting from A to B, but they also meant freedom to get around and go where you wanted to go. Now I'm just riding for pleasure and love the fact that riding gives you the opportunity to stay in shape, meet new people, go to some amazing places and have a lot of fun with friends...and when I'm stupid enough to try a new downhill run that's above my pay grade, its both exhilarating and challenging.

    Current bikes:  Specialized Stumpjumper

    Favourite ride: I like it all and have a lot of trails on bucket list. So far my favorite would have to be the end section of The Ghost Road...beautiful part of the country and I even managed to catch fish on the Mokihinui River on one visit.
