About us
Magic Spanner Ltd was founded in April 2016 by Martin Woffindin.
We provide coaching for cyclists, cycle maintenance and we also have an online shop here on our website.
Our mission: To help cyclists achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
The term ‘Magic Spanner’ comes from the situation in cycling racing when a mechanic in a support car appears to be making an adjustment to a bike but in reality is giving the rider a push to help them get back into the peloton.
We are based in Burnley, Lancashire.
