    Expertise: Bike Maintenance

    Daniel Dziemieszonek works with bikes, rides bikes, races bikes, and pretty much sleeps with bikes. As a YouTuber, he creates tutorials about maintaining and riding bicycles. He has been riding since 1993, when he was given a cheap mountain bike. His cheap bike was breaking all the time and he had to keep it alive by using a limited budget and resources. That is how he became a bike mechanic and very soon after he started to compete in Cross Country races. He has fixed and restored, or rather resurrected, hundreds of bikes so far.
