Llew Hughes, owner of Country Pedaller has been riding for over 50 years.

Raced BMX in its infancy in Rhodesia as a kid. Always working on the bikes to make them faster and more reliable. Went to work at a Bicycle shop as a gopher. I could not be paid actual money so they gave me parts for free. I built myself a single speed track bike and raced at a local track. I won a bunch of junior events. Rugby and Track pulled me away from the bike. Always had one in the room to look at and mess with. After my injuries from Rugby and Army healed, I rode a mountain bike for a couple of years, just to feel the freedom and air thru my hair. I decided to do some triathlons. Rode my road bike every day and finished my one and only Ironman.

I got really sick after that and put the bike away for a few years. I rode a specialized track bike for a few years. I got back into it because of Lemond and especially Lance Armstrong. I have been riding ever since.

I got into Bike fitting because I had so much trouble with my own fit. I have a weird Body type, which causes a lot of discomfort on my bike. No matter what size I rode it hurt. So I decided to fit myself. I went to see Paul Swift and he fit me and showed me the basics. Went to school with him in San Francisco and have been fitting ever since. The more I did, the more I learned.

My goal is to help people enjoy their ride. Whatever I can do to fit the bike to them I will do.

It is all about being comfortable on the bike.
