Chris grew up on cul-de-sac in Northern California with some of the best cyclists in the country, so riding bikes was a given. He started racing the track at the local velodrome in San Jose at 13 years old but the road was his true love. While still in his teens, Chris was lining up with his childhood idols like Greg LeMond and Laurent Fignon. Chris raced as a professional for the Saturn Cycling Team which brought him to North Carolina when he competed in the 1993 Tour DuPont. In 2008, he opened Uptown Cycles in Charlotte. Nowadays, you are likely to find Chris helping customers or doing bicycle fittings. Not only is he the only certified Premium Retul fitter in the Charlotte area, he is the only Level 2 fitter in North Carolina. With experience on the track, road, TT, and mountain bikes Chris can help take your riding to the next level.
