He joins our team after more than a decade at Workstand/SmartEtailing, most recently as a data analyst. Bikes have literally and figuratively taken Liam places, from cross-country bike tours to daily work commutes to a velodrome in Mexico — he arguably owes it all to a banana bread "prime" on the penultimate lap of a Cat 4 bike race.
