A Passion Close to Our Hearts
For anyone that is a regular customer of Owen’s Cycles (Rightbike Petersfield), you’ll know that Owen’s passion also spans over five decades now too! A keen BMX rider winning multiple trophies for the clubs he rode for, and in later years becoming a veteran Cyclo-Cross Champion in various events too.
Something of a biking altruist, in the late 90’s and early noughties, Owen also ran MTB sessions for children too! Owen says, “it’s always great to see them pop in-store today in their 30’s or 40’s with their passion for bikes still firmly intact. And, to hear about their races, tours, defeats, victories, help them customise their bikes for events, and even to help their little ones with their first bike too!”
Now focusing his energy on the shop in Petersfield, his family, and maybe the odd biking event too! Owen was delighted for the opportunity to sponsor Hannah and Beyond the Mud, and see them inspire so many others too.
