Pete and Jerzy have not only been involved in the cycle industry for pretty much the whole of their working lives they also live and breath riding. So they know what makes bikes ride well and how they respond when pushed to the limit.

Jerzy's speciality is road bikes, he rides over 300km per week and has competed in numerous races and competitions around the world.

Pete leans more towards heavy duty stuff and rides both mountain bikes, jump bikes and BMX. Most evenings he can be found hitting the streets of London earning his post ride ale!

The London Bicycle Workshop first opened on 27th September 2009 and is Pete's brain child. After working for other companies he got tired of all the misunderstandings caused by customers being advised on the service by a sales person and then being told something very often completely different by a mechanic. Having this in mind he decided that something needed to be done about it and came up with the idea of an open workshop where customers are advised by a mechanic straight away. Another important change was to give an exact quote for repairs when customers bring their bikes in, so there are no surprises when bikes are being collected. After months of planning and looking for a suitable location Pete decided that he needed someone to share his workload with. Working for the same company for a few years he knew Jerzy had the knowledge and experience necessary to co-run a bicycle workshop. It didn't take long for Jerzy to agree to start the shop with Pete and, together, they completed the planning process.

When the location has been confirmed and all the necessary forms filled in (lots and lots of forms) Pete started renovating. Being a great handyman and having some experience in refurbishing as well as help from his friends he finished with the shop in less than a month.
