Yvonne Pfau - Owner/Manager

Level 3 Bicycle Mechanic
Breaking into a male dominated industry when I did was a huge challenge. I love the bike industry, you meet and help so many interesting people making healthy lifestyle decisions, enjoying the outdoors, from a child’s first bike, family rides to competitive disciplines. My enthusiasm is also fuelled by the growing availability of women’s specific design products. I am a qualified Bicycle Mechanic and enjoy training and working with staff. I raced Road and Track representing the NT on 4 occasions, still holding the NT Pursuit records from 1993. Completed SBCU Bachelors Program 2007. Northern Territory Telstra Small Business Women's Award Winner 2007 & Australian Telstra Business Women’s Award Finalist 2007
