BVC comments:  Julian has a great ability to get riders to focus on the key things that will make them successful during the Learn to Ride and Learn to Race sessions. But don’t think it is all serious business, expect to walk away with one or two tall tales from the life of a cyclist. During the day Julian is a representative for several bike brands and accessories that you will find in your local bike shop.
