HOW IT ALL BEGAN:
Michael Maiden (Founder) in Morzine
I'm Michael Maiden the founder of Wheelie Bike Shop. After competing in my first downhill race when I was 13 I was obsessed. My life revolved around racing, being the fastest I possibly could and having the best equipment. When pushing the limits to get the fastest times inevitably crashes occurred and things broke!

It was at this point I started to learn how to fix my own bike, next thing I knew I was selling my services to friends and family, and then the general public, Wheelie Bike Shop was born!!. I was constantly trying to develop the business and the most obvious next step was to start selling products online. I ran the business while at school for a few years which was very difficult juggling homework and running the business! I now run Wheelie Bike Shop full time from my new shop in Poole, Dorset and put my heart and soul into everything I do.

My aim is to ensure every Wheelie customer has a great experience and that they will keeo coming back to us, whether that be to get a puncture fixed, buy a new bike or just pop in for a chat about bikes!.
I hope the business will one day be a household name in the cycling world but for now you can buy with confidence knowing that there's a young guy who appreciates every order as it makes my dream come that little bit closer.
