We are joined this week by one of Cycle Systems oldest and dearest partners, Pedros Tools. These are the tools we have used day in, day out for over a decade, and the favourite for our students to buy when starting out in the trade or building their dream garage.Matt Bracken is not only head of Pedros USA, but he has had a fascinating life in bike mechanics and cycle racing. As you would expect, he has a whole raft of stories about cycling culture, learning to be a Mavic mechanic in Europe, and what it means to run a company, be a good and safe mechanic, and navigate the world we find ourselves in right now.
