Hi. My name is Rob. This is me from around 1996. I've loved and grown up with bikes since before I could walk. As a teenager with I taught myself how to maintain my bikes in the best condition I could afford. My bikes back then were put through some serious use. I used to ride everywhere. I didn't bother passing my driving test until I was in my twenties. Riding was my life. Fast forward and I'm all grown up and riding whenever my busy family life allows. I've been a Paramedic since 2007. Too long. Trying to preserve my mental wellbeing in the current climate is a constant challenge, but bikes have always been there to distract me, and keep me focused. To provide for my family I work (a lot!) and it takes it's toll. I needed a change. Living in Stuntney I've looked after a few bikes in the village. A lovely neighbour suggested I advertise my bike maintenance skills and create a small business. Thus bicyclette.uk was born! I still work when I can as an ambulance Paramedic, but my focus has been diverted to my small business. Thanks to the people of Ely who have supported me as a small start-up, we are now able to expand our footprint and bring quality, affordable bicycle repairs to more people than ever before.
