Founder & Design Director
Favourite part about working at Cyclehoop
I love designing products for cyclists and seeing them on the street being used every day. It gives me great pleasure to create products that make cycling easier, safer and more convenient which helps encourage more people to take up cycling.
How often do you cycle?
I often cycle to work and use the bike to get around town which is much quicker than the tube or bus. Every month we organise IBikeLondon rides and ride around the city with hundreds of other cyclists and I can be found riding one of the music sound systems!
Embarrassing cycling story:
Cycling and trousers don’t go well. I’ve torn holes into most of my trousers I wear and once did this before an important meeting…
Prior to working at Cyclehoop...
I previously worked as an architect in London and came up with the Cyclehoop idea after my bicycle was stolen. It won a design competition and the rest is history!

I really like the research aspect of the job, finding potential clients in new markets is fun. Most of all though I enjoy working with the friendliest bunch of people. The table tennis and table football facilities are also a plus. All in all a great company to work for.

Favourite part about working at Cyclehoop
The friendly colleagues. Being out and about around London riding bikes on various missions.
How often do you cycle?
The days a year I don’t cycle can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Embarrassing cycling story:
I was trying out a track bike in a shop. I’d brought my own SPD-pedals. Since the bike had no brakes I wasn’t allowed to try it out on the road. I clipped in and started pedalling on the floor of the shop. The salesman mentioned something I didn’t pay full attention to. To my horror, I found out a couple of seconds later what he had warned me about. The floor was built like a deck with a 50 cm drop at the edge. I panicked a bit and failed to clip out. This resulted in me falling over some quite fancy road bikes. Luckily there were no damages made and I wasn’t hurt, apart from my pride.
Prior to working at Cyclehoop...
I worked as a cycling Postman. Bike Builder at Evans Cycles. Mechanic at Cyclebeat Indoor cycling studio. Can you spot a theme here somewhere ?

It’s honestly the people that make this a special place to work. Everyone is a down to earth, genuine character. Also, working for a company with a positive eco-friendly ethos is great!
How often do you cycle?
When surveying sites for cycle parking, I cycle around on the company Brompton. Being out in the fresh air after a couple of days in front of the computer is something I absolutely love.
Embarrassing cycling story:
Having to plonk down on the kerb in front of a big bunch of (professional-looking) cyclists after noticing my shoelace was wrapped around my chainrings about 30 times.
Prior to working at Cyclehoop:
A good mix of roles. I’ve worked in similar positions, in varying project departments, with some compliance experience too!

Favourite part about working at Cyclehoop
Coordinating the installation of much-needed Bikehangars, then passing them in real life and feeling so proud! When my friends see them on the street, they take photos and send them to me - that’s pretty cool.
How often do you cycle?
Not as often as the rest of the team, that’s for sure! I love a relaxed cycle up to the river though... From our HQ in Lower Sydenham, it's an easy, traffic-free route into Greenwich.
Embarrassing cycling story:
Falling off my bike at a roundabout and having cars lined up waiting for me to collect all my belongings from the ground before limping off.. Cringe.
Prior to working at Cyclehoop...
Coordinating and operations, in multiple locations.
