Presentation and history with Bicycles Quilicot
His favorite cycling practice
“I mainly cycle on the road. When I'm not on my road bike, you can find me on a gravel bike with friends or on my commuter when I'm on my way to work. Cycling has been a passion of mine since a very young age. I love being on my bike, it's an active and super-fast mode of transport. I love speed and thrills, which is why I race my bike across Quebec during the summer. Chances are you'll find me at Les Mardis de Lachine, spinning fast in circles!”
His favorite bike
" When it comes to choosing my bike, I don't do anything by halves. I'm always looking for the best compromise between the bike's malleability, rigidity and lightness. After having ridden several bikes over the years, the bike that met all these criteria is the BMC Roadmachine 01 . It's as fast on the flat as it is uphill. When shod with 28mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 , it offers unrivalled comfort and handling.”
His must-have equipments
" When I'm out cycling, I can't do without my Shokz headphones .They allow me to combine my passion for music with my passion for cycling, while remaining safe and in tune with my environment. Another product I'm particularly fond of is Maurten nutrition products. Whether before a race or during training, Maurten products are the best at keeping me energized. Finally, the last product I use on a daily basis is my Garmin 540 . It helps guide me as I explore new regions, but also monitors my power data during training. "
Benjamin's recommendation
" If you're looking for an exceptional bike outing, I recommend leaving from Sutton and crossing the U.S. border to climb Jay Peak. The roads and scenery will charm you. Just make sure you don't forget your passport, and the fun is guaranteed! "
