Racing throughout the most of the USA, Canada, and Dominican Republic and being part of some of NYC most prestigious teams like GS Mengoni and Foundation Cycling. This also helped pave the way for a college scholarship as a member of the Lindsey Wilson College racing team in Kentucky. His love and passion for bicycles mixed with his great charisma makes him a great guy to help you out with any of your bicycle needs. 

Luis Aquino, Head Mechanic

Luis first got introduced to the world of cycling at the young age of 12. He began racing BMX with his local club in the Dominican Republic eventually making the jump to racing on the road and track a few years later. After plenty of success on the road including a stage win in his native country's biggest race, La Vuelta Independencia, Luis finally decided to embark on a bigger journey and head for the USA. Upon his arrival in New York City he really began to master his craft as a bicycle mechanic. That did not stop him from competing in the local Pro 1/2 races, claiming the top spot in the 2006 NYC Spring Series and taking second place honors in 2007 and 2008. In 2010 taking a hiatus from racing he decided to focus on work, family and living the American dream. Luis's wrenching skills are just as good as his riding skills. When it comes down to it he can do it all. Just bring your bike by and see!
