Description

Bike workshops and the mechanics that work within them are a vital part of the trade, but anxiety about attracting and retaining talent, providing liveable income for mechanics and on the increasing expertise required of technicians are sizeable concerns for the viability of this vital cog in the bike industry machine.

The latest CIN Podcast tackles this topic and more, with regular host Sean Lally speaking with the vastly experienced Mark Barfield, founder of the European Association of Professional Bike Mechanics (EAPBM) to represent and lobby on behalf of bike mechanics.
