Oli (the boss) Pringle

Oli made his break into cycling as a Cheeky courier and was then known for his ability to catch a lift on his bike by holding onto trucks on the M5 on his way to work. He started Cheeky Monkey Cycle Co in the city, with then partner Adam in 1999. Since the store moved to Randwick in 2002, the focus has been road and triathlon. With a wealth of experience, Oli is expert in all things related to bikes and triathlon and has become somewhat of a local celebrity - both through the store and the group Cheeky rides.
