Velofix unveils 2017 triathlon team and Dave Scott as official coach
Velofix's 2017 pro triathlete ambassador roster includes Dave Scott, Leanda Cave and a strong crew of Canadian pros.
Velofix has announced their 2017 roster of professional athletes ambassadors, and the list is stacked with Canadian talent. The mobile bike shop brand has also announced that six-time Ironman World Champion is their official team coach ambassador.
“Back in my racing days, I never dreamt of the service and convenience offered by a company like velofix,” says Scott. “Imagine having your own mechanic roll up your driveway, attend to your bike, pour you an espresso and get you quickly on your way. In today’s new ‘come to you’ on-demand economy, nothing makes better sense. Where I ride – whether I’m home or travelling – velofix is my personal cycling concierge.”
The 2017 ambassador crew comprises resigned athletes Jeff Symonds, Nathan Killam and Steph Corker and new this year, Rachel McBride, Jenny Fletcher and Leanda Cave.
McBride says, “As a professional triathlete, riding bikes is a huge part of my job. So having my gear in premium working order is imperative to my success as an athlete. With my already busy schedule, I really count on my mechanic to keep my steeds race-ready, so I can do my job. It’s a great feeling to know velofix’ high quality, convenient bike mechanic services have got my back – here in Vancouver and in so many other North American cities where I train and race!”
Four-time world champion Leanda Cave agreed. “As a professional athlete I am always racing against time,” she explains. “This also applies to my busy lifestyle outside of the sport. Along with travel and all my other commitments, it’s hard to find time to get to a bike store. Solution: velofix! Now matter where I find myself racing or training, I know I can have the best mechanical support at my doorstep when I need it.”
