Ollie is a mountain bike coach and business owner (Pedal Progression) based in Ashton Court in Bristol. His location and trails mean he often sees riders who are new to the sport or simply curious about trying it. He works with a lot of schools, youth groups, and charities, offering mountain biking to children. Increasingly, these are kids who’ve fallen out of mainstream education due to additional behavioural needs, or children with special educational needs and disabilities. He works with women’s groups, the local trail association and connects with all sorts of minority groups who have established their own riding communities.
