business, Somerset-based The Bicycle Academy was founded by Andrew Denham. “The quality of their workmanship and range
of techniques used means that we can move up another gear and offer students an even richer experience.” Both Mather and James will continue with their own projects, while their hands on involvement with The Bicycle Academy will mean it can offer tuition covering a broad range of frame building techniques, using the layered teaching style on which its founder has built its reputation.
