Grant Lestock-Kay

Owner - First exposed to mountain biking through a middle school bike club, Grant's interest in bikes quickly evolved into a full-blown obsession. Grant started working at Cowichan Cycles in 2011 as a bike builder and slowly transitioned into his role as a mechanic. In 2016 Grant purchased Cowichan Cycles from the original owner Robin, and continues to run it today.

Doug Mcqueen

Workshop Manager - Doug is a bike industry veteran and his knowledge is immediately apparent when he begins chatting bikes. Doug’s official role is our workshop manager but is more than happy to find himself helping with guidance on the sales floor. Doug’s bike knowledge is vast but we have noticed him come to life particularly when getting in to the intricacies of suspension and wheel builds.

Seamus George

Mechanic- Seamus first became involved with the shop as a member of the race team, but his mechanical aptitude and easygoing demeanour made him a perfect fit for a permanent role. Methodical and efficient, he’s grown into an integral part of our team. When he’s not working on your bike, you can find him ripping down Prevost or skiing on the mainland.

Rob Wilson

Rob is a longtime friend of Grant’s and began riding bikes alongside him when the two were in middle school. After a decade-long riding hiatus, Rob joined the Cowichan Cycles team to accelerate the shop in the media and digital space, as well as help out front-of-house and with receiving. Outside of Cowichan Cycles, Rob is a creative working in the photography and videography field, focusing on adventure lifestyle content and the occasional wedding. Aside from mountain biking, Rob enjoys camping, motorcycling, and surfing.

Kyson Stevenson

Our resident shop grom, Kyson works Saturdays on the sales floor with his exceeding charisma and love of chatting all things bikes. Kyson joined the Cowichan Cycles ecosystem through being a member of the race team, and when he’s not working in the shop or at school, he’s typically shredding laps at Prevost. Aside from biking, Kyson loves anything with wheels, as well as trail-building.

Chancellor Amos

As a very active member in the Cowichan and beyond mountain biking community, working at a bike shop was a natural fit for Chancellor. When not on the sales floor on Saturdays, Chancellor can be found coaching and working with the Indigenous Youth Mountain Bike Program, shredding local trails as an ambassador for Cowichan Cycles, or spending time with his son. Outside of mountain biking, Chancellor enjoys time with family and walking his dog.
