Balfe’s Bikes partner with Team GB Track Sprinter & Olympic Silver Medallist Ryan Owens
Leading bike specialist Balfe’s Bikes have partnered up with Team GB Track Sprinter & Tokyo 2020 Olympic Silver Medallist Ryan Owens.
Managed by The Athlete Media Group, Ryan has several medals under his belt (including a recent silver at the Commonwealth Games, 2 UCI World Championships medals and a Silver at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics) and is now working towards the next steps in his career at the London Business School.
As part of his move to London to study, Ryan was keen to work with a cycling retailer local to his new home and reached out to Balfe’s Bikes to discuss teaming up.
Balfe’s Bikes were more than happy to supply Ryan and his partner Sinead with an Electric Brompton each, as well as support throughout the year, enabling them to ditch their car for good and experience life in the capital by bike.
On working with Balfe’s Bike and choosing the Brompton Ryan says:
“I’m delighted to be teaming up with Balfe’s Bikes going forward. They’re a top bike shop with an excellent range and great staff so I couldn’t think of a better place to get set up for London cycle commuting.
I love a great British design, so when it came to choosing a bike for commuting, I knew from the start I wanted to go with a Brompton. The Electric models just add another dimension to their already iconic design. They’re the perfect bike for my commute to business school, allowing me to arrive at lectures fresh and bring them inside for security.”
Balfe’s Bikes Marketing Manager, Queenie Waterman says:
“It was clear from the start Ryan has a real passion for cycling as a whole and we’re over the moon to have him on board as an ambassador for Balfe’s Bikes. It’s great to see such a high calibre athlete leading the charge in support of the use of more sustainable means of travel and we can’t wait to follow his travels on board his Brompton throughout the year!”
