The administrative side of our business is done from our laptops and smartphones, as The Cycilng Co. is a location independent lifestyle business which allows us to serve our clients in the most amazing and inspiring locations possible.

He and his wife left their home in Scotland to do just that. Lewis was a pretty fine DH racer as a young lad back home, and now he’s here in Victoria, BC to share his passion for riding bikes.

Fernie born and raised, Carter has been riding bikes for as long as he can remember, but it wasn’t until the end of high school that he really got the racing bug. In 2015 Carter chose the University of Victoria because he believed that would be the best place for him to pursue a post-secondary education while becoming an elite cross country racer. Since graduating in 2020, Carter has taken racing to the next level while also founding the Fernie Gravel Grind.
