Hey 👋 - I’m Uncle Bike
Every rider should have a local bike guy.
Someone who knows the roads, knows your bike, and actually picks up when you text. Someone who’ll tell you where to ride Sunday and sort your shifting Tuesday. Someone who’s been here, and plans to stay.
Around the Bay of Quinte, that’s me.

Nine years running The Brake Room. Now mobile across the region, building cycling with Hastings County, Tyendinaga Township, and riders like you.
