“Each of Velofix’s GPS-tracked vans is equipped to update inventory and online appointments in real time”


Speed and versatility are in Boris Martin’s blood as a three-time Canadian National Track bicycle racing champion. In his day job as a bike mechanic, he thought there had to be a better way than asking his customers to book an appointment, drop off their bikes and then wait up to a week to feel the wind against their helmets.

So, Martin, together with business partners Davide Xausa and Chris Guillemet, created Velofix, a mobile bike shop in the back of a van for on-site repairs. Each of Velofix’s GPS-tracked vans is equipped to update inventory and online appointments in real time. Martin has franchised the business, and trucks are now operating in Victoria and Calgary, as well as in Metro Vancouver. –Alexis Baran
