Background
Cycles West is a family run company. Owner Simon Ciceri has been working in the bicycle industry for over 30 years. His wife Jill is the Office Manager.
Simon has worked in bike shops in England, Italy, the United States, as well as shops across Canada.
It is safe to say cycling is Simon's passion. Simon rode semi-professionally in Europe as well as having done many local races. He has also completed many triathlons, including Ironman Canada. Simon also trained as a coach in England, which comes in handy when he is leading his wind trainer courses.
Simon's other passions are co-owner and wife Jill and their son Eric. Jill frequently rides with husband Simon to relax and enjoy Victoria and surroundings as well as being a frequent commuter cyclist. Whether out on their tandem or with Eric on the back of Jill's bike, the family’s rides are always enjoyed. It is Simon's goal for Eric to enjoy cycling as much as the rest of his family does.
Also working at Cycles West is Malcolm Faulkner. Malcolm is a long time track cyclist and coach. He has 30 years riding and racing experience in all cycling disciplines. Malcolm is also machinist who has built bike frames and has excellent technical knowledge.
Come on in to meet Simon, Jill and Malcolm. They would be happy to chat about any form of cycling.
