Josh Instagram
Bicycle Peddler/Store Manager
A solid career change brought me from the culinary world to the wonderful world of bikes. Now I just can’t get enough! If I am not in the shop helping folks with any and all cycling needs, you can likely find me out on the trails, cutting, digging, shredding and having a good time!

I prefer being outdoors, in the woods, away from people. I like riding bikes, building trails, and long walks on the beach. Single btw ;)

Quinton Instagram
Technician/Eye of the Storm
I work with bikes, and I like to think I'm pretty good at it. I can fix just about anything, and I always make sure to do it with a smile. When i'm not working, i like to biike, I biked across Penticton, and even biked for three straight years. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family and eating shrimp. I’m not a smart man, but I do know what a good bike needs.
Louis
Master Merchandiser/Sales Extraordinaire
I am a french Canadian local to Penticton who grew up in the shop having worked here since the age of 13. Ever since I got my training wheels off last year, I’ve spent most of my life riding a bike in the mountains or on roads. The mix of adrenaline and pursuit of achievement is what pushes me and keeps me riding even on the worst of days. You can catch me broken and hurt in the shop or out riding my bike anywhere and everywhere.
Mack
Technician/Attender of Details
We found Mack in the alley while he was working on his own bike. He offered us mechanic tips through the back fence in exchange for coffee. We were a little alarmed by his overall appearance, but took a chance and asked him to stay. Sometimes he gets too excited about bicycles, but we think that’s a good thing. Don’t ask him to talk about anything except bikes or he might hiss at you.
James Instagram
Shipping & Receiving/Ridewrap Installer
I’m an avid mountain biker, and car enthusiast hailing from Britain. I made the switch from the car industry to the bike industry for a change of pace and I'm loving every day of it! You can find me at the gym, in the mountains or ripping the backroads in my GTI. You might not see me much at the shop as I spend most of the day out back or upstairs, but Bike parks are my happy place so catch you on the chair!
Zoe
Customer Service/Intellectual Interloper
Hi I’m Zoe, I grew up in the biking world but took a short hiatus to attend university. Now I’m just getting back into the biking scene. I enjoy reading and cruising the KVR listening to some good music. Don’t confuse me with Cindy, she’s much more extreme than me when it comes to biking and I have short hair now…
Ben
G.R.O.M (Garbage & Recycling Operations Minion)
I am a local guy riding bikes in and around the okanagan. I like big air, brakeless fixed gears and filming our crew doing cool things. Outside of work I build dirt jumps, lead youth rides and party on bikes with my bro’s.
Fred
G.R.O.M (Garbage & Recycling Operations Minion)
Still learning the ropes from Jimmy, stoked on rentals. Outside of work I love commuting on my dirt jump bike, lifting heavy weights and going to my moms house on wednesdays.
Dan
Technician
I started working in bike shops in the 1990’s and continued working in the bike industry until 2015. Now after spending 8 years in Japan I am back in Canada to enjoy working on bicycles with some great people that share my enthusiasm. I’m also excited to spend some time riding bikes in the summer sun.
