Description

From the back roads of Clare to racing professionally in the United States, Will Dickeson has lived a life built on bikes, grit, and momentum. After competing with the Jelly Belly Pro Cycling Team, Will returned home to Australia where he worked with Cycling Australia before launching his own Adelaide-based business, Neutral Spares — a bike-service operation with a loyal following.

In this conversation we trace his path from young rider to pro athlete, from the intensity of the American racing scene to the craft of precision bike mechanics.

Will is also my son-in-law — husband to Olivia and dad to Audrey, Harriet, and Iris — which adds an extra layer of warmth and honesty to this chat.

If you love cycling, stories of perseverance, or the journey behind the person you meet, this one’s for you.
