Let’s talk about cycling with Yann !

Cycling in your childhood ?
I started on a small folding bike (already at the time) near Chambéry. Then the bike became a BMX (an MBK) with friends during my adolescence. Crazy about freestyle, we worked on our tricks every weekend, whenever I had a moment.
A bike I was tinkering with a few friends. I kept my last BMX, a neon pink GT Pro Performer, very fashionable at the time (it was the 80s), which I restored in 2020 with my son. It still looks great.

And after ?
I then switched to mountain biking in the 1990s, then to the full suspension version, mostly all mountain, and to electric mountain biking for 3-4 years, the best in the mountains, around Savoie and Tarentaise.

And the bike today ?
A daily "bike commute" practice with a muscle bike or Ultima City or even Cargo. We even got rid of a car in the family! As soon as I can, if I have appointments in Lyon or in a certain city, I travel by Ultima bike of course! It's also a volunteer commitment because I run "Répare ton vélo" a bike self-repair workshop in the Montchat district (Lyon 3) with a team of great volunteers. Workshop that I created in 2020 in my neighborhood.

The bike of tomorrow
A vehicle for everyday mobility, suitable for cities and the countryside... An easy-to-use electric bike with automatic transmission, which recovers energy when braking, increasing its range. A bike for everyday use, allowing two adults to travel and carrying their groceries. Regulations for electric bikes that evolve with a speed limit of 30 km/h would be great...
