We are all keen cyclists and have been cycling since we can remember which has produced in each of us a unique perspective on cycling. Here is a quick summary of our different interests
|
Tim Lammin |
![]() |
Tim has been regularly commuting to Bath for many years in all weathers and seasons and has racked up thousands of miles experience. His latest bike is a Thorn Expedition that copes with the winter conditions and is comfortable to ride those poorly surfaced roads between Corsham and Bath. Tim has had formal bike mechanic training with Level 2 qualification and the mainstay of the workshop . He is also our hydraulic brake expert.
For many years Tim and his family have taken holidays that involve cycling and camping and 4 years ago he completed the Land’s End to John O’Groats ride in 11 days. |

Having never owned a car Richard has always cycled whether its work, shopping or just visiting friends. He is the touring expert having cycled from London to Kathmandu in 1993 before travelling onto Tibet. He has also toured in India as well as most European countries and the UK. Richard currently rides an old Orbit Expedition that is over 20 years old but brings out his Mercian when the weather is good.
Richard started building bike wheels 5 years ago and is Spindles main wheel builder. He also does all the admin but still likes to get his hands dirty in the workshop building up a bike. |
