My name is Alex Ramon. I’ve been a bicycle geek since early childhood, spending my twenties working as a mechanic in some great bike shops. My cycling passions include flatland bmx, unicycles and cycle-touring and I have a lot of fun mountain biking and road riding. I’ll basically ride anything with pedals. I also love photography… one day I hope to do some serious touring with my camera and one of those fun Greenspeed Trikes.

I’m really excited by the amount of positive response this site has received, and I appreciate all of the many comments, emails and requests you’ve all been sending. The list of requests is growing quite large, and so I’ve set up an excel document to track who requests what, and how often each topic is requested. I’m working through the list in order of popularity, and I hope to be able to cover all of the topics (one per week) throughout the next year or so. Please feel free to make a request and subscribe by email for new tutorial updates.
