Andrew is a cycling lifer having been given his first bike around the age he could walk. He's been around bikes long enough to witness in person Chris Boardman beating the hour record, celebrate Rodger Hamond's world cyclocross win, question Lance Armstrong's speed up Alp d'Huez and get rather drunk with Tom Boonen's family after his world championship victory. As one of the first riders to race at Manchester Velodrome, Andy has even ridden the iconic Malvern Hills Classic, and has years of experience racing and riding time trials, road races, crits, cyclocross, cross county, Sportives and even the odd Enduro. A mechanical engineer by profession, he's a bit of a MacGyver when it comes to fettling with bikes, and the chances are he's already designed any piece of cycling kit in his jotter, but was too busy riding bikes to make it.
