Bike n Bean Junior Development Program

Still attending High School, this local Bundoora lad is a great all rounder, having won the 2010 Under 15 Australian Mountain Road Climbing Championships.
Liam is coached by the same trainer as current World Madison Champion Leigh Howard. Liam is riding a Specialized Tarmac Expert with the Bike n Bean kit, plus S-Works shoes and helmet.

Bike n Bean & Specialized Female Cycling Ambassador
Simone Evans was chosen to represent Bike n Bean in the cycling community. Simone always admired Specialized as a stylish and professional brand. She has been riding recreationally for the past 6 years, competing in events such as Around the Bay, East Link and the Degani-Kinglake rides. She was looking to gain more experience and bring together group rides for weekends and high profile events.
Simone works as Centre Manager at Diamond Valley Sports & Fitness Centre, and feels she can promote outdoor cycling to the members, friends and family. She currently rides with her husband, best friend, her son and his girlfriend. She enjoys promoting and 'dragging' along her friends into the world of road riding, as she believes 'there is nothing quite like it'.
Bike n Bean Female Mountain Bike Team
Kylie McInnes & Rachael Baggallay
Both ladies love their bikes. Their goal is to keep competing in mountain bike enduros, keep improving, and keep having fun. And while they are at it, they'd like to encourage more girls to get out there and give it a go too.
Kylie says 'I ride because I enjoy it. Riding to work makes me feel good, and riding home makes me feel even better. But mountain biking is the riding I like best. Apart from being ridiculously good fun, riding off road presents different challenges - both mental and physical – to work at. I’ve had the opportunity to see different parts of the Australian and NZ bush and enjoy it under my own steam, with the wind at my back and the sun (or mud!) on my legs.
Over the years, I’ve done quite a few mountain bike races – mostly with my regular race partner Rachael Baggallay, but also in a team of 4 with some other girls. And although we do get a bit competitive (there’s nothing quite like finding out at 1am in a 24 hour race that you’ve just caught up to the team in front!), we pride ourselves on our good sportsmanship and having fun. I love the sense of camaraderie you get in mountain bike races – the way first-time racers and elites can ride together on the same course, and at the end everyone is equally muddy-faced and grinning :-)'.
