Yankee Cycle Works
With almost 40 years of cycling experience, I’ve built my life around two wheels and a deep respect for the bicycle.
My cycling journey began in the mountains of New Hampshire, where I first discovered the freedom and challenge of winding roads and demanding terrain. From there, my love of cycling expanded through the rolling hills, coastal routes, and historic back-roads of New England. Those early years shaped not only my endurance and technical skill, but also my appreciation for the cycling community and the landscapes that make every ride unforgettable.
Eventually, I relocated to Southern California, where year-round riding opened new horizons. I’ve toured extensively along California’s breathtaking Central Coast — from dramatic ocean cliffs to quiet inland climbs — experiencing some of the most iconic cycling terrain in the country. The diversity of routes, climate, and cycling culture of California continues to inspire my riding today.
Alongside nearly four decades in the saddle, I bring 20 years of professional bicycle mechanic experience. I have owned and operated my own bicycle shop, building a reputation for precision work, excellent service, and a deep understanding of both modern and classic bicycles.
Today, I operate as a mobile bicycle mechanic and a cycling tour guide. By bringing professional-grade service directly to clients, I make high-quality maintenance convenient and personalized touring options unforgettable. Whether it’s a tune-up, a full rebuild, or touring the back-roads of California I am grateful for every opportunity.
For me, cycling has never just been a hobby or a profession — it’s a lifelong commitment to movement, craftsmanship, and community.
