Penhale Bicycle Company | Bike, Camp & Chill Podcast | Episode 13

Andy Holmes is the “Chief Cook and Bottle Washer“ at Penhale Bicycle Company—an independent frame builder of adventure bikes that allow riders to explore the world, or their own backyard. After his decades of riding and working in the bike industry, Andy aimed to design truly versatile machines. We talk about recovering from injuries, growing up in England, getting into bikes, moving to the U.S., bikepacking various routes, and ultimately how and why he decided to start Penhale. The new Grytstone frame is available for presale now, so be sure to check out their website for more information.
