Whilst being a hot rider is not a prerequisite to working here it just so happens that, when we claim to be experts, we are probably not that bad..... The team can be found here

The owner, a potted history
JP Saville has been riding all his life and started riding on dirt with knobbies and cowhorns in the sixties and mountain biking (as we know it today) on the South Downs in 1985. By 1989 he had a silver medal in the UK National MTB Championship. He ran a successful business pioneering mountain biking in the area during the eighties. In 1988 he created the Kona brand in the UK. In the early years with Kona the UK market lead the world, out selling the Canadians where Kona came from. Whilst developing the Kona brand JP continued to ride and raced successfully in the vets category, competed in 24 hour events and put in thousands of training miles on his road bike. As a road cyclist he competed in various races as a part of his mountain bike race training and joined to time trial. Racing against the clock never enthused him like the shoulder to shoulder bash and excitement of racing in dirt. After leaving Kona JP joined Madison Cycles, responsible for Colnago (the most successful road racing brand in the world), Ridgeback (the best commuter/leisure range in the UK) and Rocky Mountain (high end handmade Canadian mountain bikes).

Over fifteen years JP has travelled the country helping bike shops with their sales, marketing and training. He must have visited most of the quality shops in the country. He has run countless demo events and it was with these that he felt most at home, sharing his passion and enthusiasm with fellow riders.
With so much cycling experience and such a passion for riding JP would rather spend his time helping local riders to get the best out of their bike, their budget or riding. Hence Quest Adventure.

What about Worthing and West Sussex?

Quest Adventure is a bike shop based in Worthing, West Sussex, providing the inspiration, motivation and equipment for riders in the South East from Brighton, Chichetser and Horsham . The shop stocks Marin, Wilier, Scott, Kona, Ridgeback, Genesis and Titus. There are mountain bike rides on the South Downs twice a month, one mixed and one for women mountain bikers. There is a ride every week Tuesday evening usually from High Salvington courtesy of Sussex MTB. Road rides are eveyweek courtesy of WECC.

The shop runs a demo fleet of high end road and mountain bikes.

Worthing is one of the best cycling towns in the UK. It is sitting on the edge of one of the largest uninterrupted riding areas in the South East, The South Downs, with endless miles of quiet roads and varied mountain bike trails. There are about 13 offroad trail heads within the town boundary.

Cycling in Worthing is 3 times the National average even though the town does not have a single cycle route as defined by the Department for Transport and that does not include the huge number of regular road & mountainbikers. The National Cycle Route sadly ends in Worthing, maybe the expectation is that no cyclist would want to leave once they arrived in this great cycling town. Times are a changing in the town and the city fathers have realised that this town is young, active and go ahead. Worthing Borough Council has an excellent Cycle Champion in Councillor John Rogers who is passionately working for cyclists in the area.
