If you have been in the shop sometime in the last couple of weeks, you may have noticed a new face behind the counter. Well, it’s time to officially announce our new mechanic Rawny Semba. We’re calling him the new guy, and while Rawny is a new addition to the shop, he has been around the block as a bicycle mechanic.
Rawny comes to us straight from a second consecutive National Championship-winning season as a mechanic for the Cannondale- Cyclocrossworld.com team.

We’re pretty excited to welcome Rawny to our team, and our customers should be excited too! It takes great mechanical ability and a meticulous attention to detail to work as a pro mechanic for the most successful cyclocross racing team in the United States. If you come to the shop this spring and summer, you can have a mechanic who has worked on and maintained Steven Hyde, Katy Keough, Curtis White, and Emma White’s bikes for the past two seasons. Whether you are a dedicated commuter, local amateur racer, or you are trying to win an elite national championship, you can bring your bike into the shop with confidence.

2018 is going to be a great year for Tailwind Cycles, and we look forward to meeting and exceeding all of your mechanical needs. Rawny will be hitting the road again with the team in the fall, so be sure to catch him at the shop before then.
Washing bikes- it’s what a pro mechanic does!
