“My belief is that we all need to stop being a ‘throw-away society’ and start reusing the resources we have,” Chris commented.

Locals and visitors to Stuarts Point are now enjoying the services of Stuarts Point Bikes, a local small business established by Chris specialising in push bike hire, repairs, maintenance and custom cycle building.

Along with a sincere respect for re-cycling (pun intended), and a whimsical affinity with ‘Winnie the Pooh’, Chris has a reverence for working with a variety of his Father’s faithful old tools and machinery.

Chris has since developed a distinctive style of bike he has named the ‘Stuarts Point Retro Cruiser’.

Combining his creative designs and the intrinsic qualities of vintage and contemporary pedal power technology, Chris offers a fleet of unique yet practical products, complete with baskets, carriers and trailers.
