Mark Nassan has over 35 years experience as a mechanic and over 25 years experience in bicycle fit and skills building. He has been employed as a guide/mechanic on several multi-week bicycle tours riding across the united states and through British Columbia as well as on single and multi day tours. Mark started Leepoff cycles 24 years ago with the idea that knowledge is to be shared and exchanged. Mark believes that the more you know about something, the more inclined you are to do it, or maybe not. “Riding a bike should be about riding a bike, not the amount of money you are spending to do so.” As a mechanic, he has spent way too much time these last few years explaining why people have to replace the must-have, cant-live-without parts on their bikes so often, or why they might not necessarily need the latest and greatest dohicky. “All it really should be about is going outside and riding your bike, regardless of what kind it is.”
