Evolution Bikes is owned and run by Gareth and Mat.....

Gareth has been involved with cycling in some form of other for the best part of 20 years. This has included a successful competitive career culminating in representing both Great Britain and Wales, and competing against the likes of Tom Boonen, Andreas Kloden and Thomas Dekker, and riding in the 2004 Tour of Britain.
Gareth’s mechanics skills have been honed over the years working in bike shops, importing companies and hire centres. During the 2008 racing season, Gareth served as mechanic for a top UK domestic team, KFS Special Vehicles / Sunday Bicycles, which was led by professional cyclist Robin Sharman.
With all this knowledge and experience, Gareth is in an ideal position to advise on all things bikes – from equipment choice and bike sizing, to nutrition and training. He has also recently completed and passed the Trek bike fit course.

Mat has been involved with bikes since the age of 14. He has represented Wales at junior level mountain biking and also rode the Junior Tour of Wales. He has worked in a number of local shops, and has been South of England Sales Manager for a bike distributor, working at major events and shows throughout the country. He is a trained Manitou Suspension service technician and at Evolution he looks after the mountain biking arm of the business. He will set up your bike, service disc brakes and service&set up the suspension.

Harry has been with us since August 2008, dealing with the sales side of the shop. Harry has been a keen mountain biker since an early age with his favourite riding location being the hills above and behind Llanfairfechan and Conwy. During the warmer months he also spends a lot of time on the road bike and rides a lot down in Devon whilst he is at University. He also has a keen interest in the film and photography side of cycling.

Phil has been a very active cyclist and mechanic for many years, competing in everything from downhill to enduro and has been a mechanic for pro teams on events such as the Tour of Britain. With a vast experience of bike maintenance and years of cycling Phil represents the workshop side of Evolution Bikes.

Ade is another of our resident mechanics and has many years of experience in the trade.

Gwydion is the youngest member of our team and is a very active young rider and racer in North Wales.

Dave, Chairman of the local cycling club, Clwb Rasio Mona, Dave is a very well known cyclist in North Wales with years of racing experience. He is the man to talk to about the best places to ride in the area and how to get involved with the local cycling scene.
