Employee Spotlight: Nicolas, Sales Advisor

In our employee spotlight series, meet the people who keep Bicycles Quilicot moving. Today, we’re introducing Nicolas, a Sales Advisor in Sainte-Thérèse, a cycling enthusiast who loves guiding every customer to their ideal bike.

Background & Journey

“My name is Nicolas and I’m a Sales Advisor. I’ve always been passionate about bikes and I love sharing that passion by helping customers find the right one for them. I’ve been with Bicycles Quilicot for 2 years at the Sainte-Thérèse store.”

Riding Style

“I’ve been riding since I was a kid, but I’ve specialized in road cycling for the past 3 years. Being in the middle of a peloton and carving a corner at full speed gives me a rush I always want to relive. I joined the Espoirs Quilicot team to level up and have raced a lot, including the Tour de l’Abitibi (700 km over 6 days). I also competed at several Mardis Lachine criteriums—one-hour, fast-paced racing. I was aiming for the white jersey (best young rider); I finished 3rd—see you next season!”

Favorite Bike

“For 2 years I’ve been riding a Specialized Tarmac SL8. It strikes the perfect balance between aerodynamics and low weight—ideal for racing. Mine runs Shimano Ultegra Di2 for fast, precise shifting. I also love the white color: it stands out in the bunch. Yes, it takes a bit more care… but it’s worth it.”

Ride Must-Haves

“1) Right tires for your needs. I’m on Continental Grand Prix 5000 STR 700×30: great grip and very comfortable.
2) Nutrition is key to perform. I use NÄAK Boost—neutral-flavor gels with the energy I need, and an electrolytes + carbs blend that digests easily.
3) Visibility. I recommend Oakley Sutro—Prizm lenses boost contrast in changing light, and I switch to photochromic lenses when it’s darker or raining.”

Nicolas’s Tip

“First, get your position dialed—good bike fit is everything on long rides and maximizes power transfer. Keep your base through winter with a Wahoo Kickr Core and some strength sessions so you’re ready for spring. And my favorite fall spot: the roads of the Laurentians—quiet, rolling, and beautiful.”
