At Amped Cycles, we love supporting riders who share our passion for cycling. Our ambassadors aren’t just highlighted—they’re part of our community, representing the energy, dedication, and spirit that make riding so rewarding. From seasoned pros to everyday enthusiasts, we support them in their journeys, helping them push boundaries, explore new trails, and enjoy every ride. Through their experiences, we celebrate cycling in all its forms and the people who make it unforgettable.
Libby Harman
Libby has been one of our longest-serving team riders, regularly competing at the highest level of Cross Country Mountain Biking in the UK on her Trek Supercaliber. When she’s not racing or training, Libby dedicates her time to her work as a zookeeper at Paignton Zoo, combining her passion for animals with her busy sporting life.
Chris Opie
Chris is a five-time World Record holder and former professional cyclist who has been racing internationally since 1998. After retiring from the pro circuit in 2018, he has worked with leading cycling companies such as GCN and Muc-Off. Closer to home, Chris continues to champion the sport as an ambassador for cycling, regularly coaching young riders at the local youth club, Wheal Velocity. We’re proud to have him representing our shop as an ambassador, where he rides the Trek Madone Gen 8 road bike.
Brody Harris
Brody is our youngest ambassador, stepping confidently into the world of cross-country racing. He joined us earlier this year and was thrilled to pick up his brand-new Trek Supercaliber Gen 2 — the perfect bike to match his determination and growing talent. With his energy, drive, and passion for racing, Brody represents the next generation of riders we’re proud to support.

Sam Nancarrow
As well as being part of the team here in-store, Sam is a passionate racer who’s rarely off the bike. You’ll find him taking on just about any discipline, though his main focus is cross-country mountain biking. Competing at a national level, Sam had a strong season this year — taking a category win at one round and finishing second overall in the series.
When he’s not racing or helping customers in the shop, Sam gives back to the sport by volunteering with Wheal Velocity Cycling Club, where he supports local riders and works alongside former pro Chris Opie to help inspire the next generation of cyclists.
