Workshop Manager & Mechanic

Michael joined MdV in autumn 2023 after working for 16 years as a mechanic and workshop manager in the worlds oldest bicycle shop. Riding mountain bikes from an early age, he has a severe dislike for pedalling, much preferring heading downhill and flying his bikes. Michael brings over 20 years of experience as a bicycle mechanic and has a strong penchant for CNC'd parts and biscuits.
