Bicycle repair and maintenance workshop in Seine-Maritime, France

At Rayons et Manivelles, cycling is more than just a way to get around. It’s a passion, a sport, sometimes a therapy… and often a very good excuse to get your hands dirty with grease.

I am a passionate bicycle mechanic and a regular mountain bike rider. After 35 years in the automotive industry I have decided to create my bike repair and maintenance workshop in Notre-Dame-d’Aliermont, in Seine-Maritime (Normandy), to offer a local, human-sized and professional service for all cyclists — from daily commuters to weekend warriors.

I trained at INCM in general bicycle mechanics and have further specialized in hydraulic suspension systems at X1 Racing. I also hold BOSCH and SHIMANO certifications for the diagnosis and maintenance of electric bikes.

A bike workshop for all cyclists (and all bikes)

At Rayons et Manivelles, I work on all types of bicycles, from all brands:

  • 🚲 Road bikes
  • 🚵 Mountain bikes (XC, trail, enduro…)
  • 🚴 Gravel bikes
  • 🚲 City bikes
  • ⚡ Electric bikes (e-bikes / VAE)

Whether it’s routine maintenance, a mechanical repair, a precise adjustment, or sport-oriented bike preparation, every bike receives the same level of care. No shortcuts here — your bike leaves the workshop ready to ride and ready to handle the miles.

Bicycle mechanic & custom wheel building specialist

In addition to standard bike servicing, the workshop offers advanced technical services for demanding cyclists:

  • 🔧 Bicycle repair and maintenance – all brands
  • ⚙️ Custom wheel building (road, MTB, gravel)
  • 🛠️ Fork and rear shock servicing (FOX, Rockshox)
  • ⚡ Electric bike diagnostics, servicing and software updates
  • 🔩 Drivetrain, brake and suspension adjustments

Whether you’re preparing for a long ride, a race, or simply your daily commute, the goal is always the same: a reliable, efficient and enjoyable bike.

A professional, local and committed approach

Opening Rayons et Manivelles in Normandy was an obvious choice. The region is full of cyclists, roads, trails and forest paths — and it deserves a local bike workshop that is accessible, skilled and trustworthy.

My commitments: see my Quality Policy

  • ✔️ Friendly welcome and attentive listening.
  • ✔️ Honest advice tailored to your riding style
  • ✔️ Careful, long-lasting workmanship
  • ✔️ Support for sustainable and active mobility

Rayons et Manivelles has obtained the label “Accueil Vélo” as a recognition for its commitment to welcome & support all cyclists.

And because a well-maintained bike means fewer breakdowns and more fun, I always take the time to explain what was done. If you don’t speak french no worries: I speak english (fluent) and german (basic)

Rayons et Manivelles: more than a workshop, a riding partner

Whether you ride for sport, leisure or everyday transportation, Rayons et Manivelles is here to help keep your bike in perfect condition, season after season.
