Fred’s one of the original members of the Pedal Collective and someone everyone trusts. He’s got a calm presence about him, the sort that makes the whole team feel a bit more grounded. Day to day, he’s the rider you can count on, always turning up with a smile and always willing to help however he can.

He came from Zedify and brought a wealth of experience with him. It shows in the way he works. Fred’s steady, reliable and never flustered, no matter what the weather’s doing or how busy things get. He’s one of those people who just gets it done. He’s a great bike mechanic who brings retro bikes back to life, adding his own style and finesse.

Outside the saddle, Fred’s an accomplished musician with plenty going on. You can check out his project The Dolebury Warren Movement over on tdwm.bandcamp.com, where he’s been creating some really interesting work. He also plays drums for Franny and Zooey, an amazing ambient and country group who you can catch playing in Bristol’s coolest venues.
