Company: AEight Bike Company
Nominee: Glen Whittington
Supporting Statement:
Glen has been a mechanic for over 20 years. His love of Cycling, Racing and the mechanical art of the bike has led him to build a wonderful
THE ÆIGHT BIKE CØMPANY
#BORNINRACING #MADEINSWEETSUSSEX
Born in Racing, Made in Sweet Sussex, he provides full pro-level support for all riders.
World Cup-level athletes receive custom bikes that are always ready to roll, with wheels meticulously built for each individual. They enjoy constant rider care, the latest upgrades, training advice, and race support. This is exactly what the #aeightbikeco delivers to his all customers, making you feel like a pro.
In addition to building his own frames, he’s gained invaluable experience working with pro teams and elite riders. Notably, he supported Hayley Batten during her first World Cup MTB win amidst the COVID challenges. He brings all these skills back to Sussex, where he shares them with his customers at affordable prices. He actively supports two local clubs and dedicates countless hours volunteering with young riders, helping them get the chance to race, just as he experienced during his own junior and U23 and elite days.
I’ve relied on him for my bikes for the past 14 years, and honestly, I probably wouldn’t still be riding if he hadn’t shared his passion and support with me. That’s why he’s my mechanic of the year. But don’t just take my word for it—see for yourself!
