My father bought the shop in 1992 or '93 I think. I was racing motocross at the time, but when they bought the bike shop I grew less interested and my results were going down - I wasn't getting in the practice time since I was always at the shop. Then I got into bicycles and really liked the way I could ride and practice by myself up in the forest. I actually did my first race up in Ferncliff, at the top where this year's World Cup is. A couple of years ago my dad was really ill, and since I've always said I wanted to take over the shop, I thought that was the right timing. |
It's quite nice being up here in Pietermaritzburg - it's more social, guys are riding, they come in and shower and go to work, have a swim, coffee, beer, whatever. |
I'm away a lot and I have other businesses that I'm involved in as well, so I rely a lot on Shane Small to run the two stores. He oversees both, and then Craig Paul runs the top shop here. We only run three staff members up top, and then we've got five on the bottom. Shane bounces between the two checking stock levels and everything else. |
