Who am I?
Hi there. I'm Mark. I'm the owner/mechanic of Cycli Gert Cycle Repair.
After 11 1/2 years as an RAF Police dog handler, serving all over the UK and around the world since 1989, I left and joined Norfolk Constabulary in 2001. I retired in June 2022 and embarked on a career in my cycling passion.
Why a cycle mechanic?
It's a passion!
I've always ridden bikes to school or work and with that came the inevitable breakdowns and punctures. So I learned to fix them myself. I've always done it but as I've gotten older cycling became so much more important to me. My passion grew and I found myself fixing friends and family bikes.
So in 2020 I embarked on a journey to formalise what I knew into recognised qualifications with a view to being a full time cycle technician. When my days on the beat finally ended I transitioned into a full time mobile bicycle technician/mechanic.
I'm now a Cytech full Level 2 and Level 3 electronic gears, E-bike and suspension qualified cycle technician with still more to learn but a wealth of experience. I didn't realise how much I actually knew until I did the courses!
I hope you can trust me with your bike. I treat every bike as if its my own and treat my customers as I would wish to be treated.
