 MICHAEL WEBBER, Service Manager

After living in Seattle for many years, Michael has returned to home living on the east coast. Through a history of careers in engineering and graphic design, he ultimately found satisfaction working with his hands, and specifically on bikes. While briefly living in Louisville, he discovered the thrill of racing cyclocross where he learned the benefit of sticking to a vendetta across the season and successfully vanquishing his targets. Michael has many years as a certified and skilled bicycle technician, and furthermore he understands the needs of his customers, whether they are commuting to work, riding on the weekends, or competing in a local race.
