John Dye has been an intrinsic part of the UK BMX scene for many years. Through his clothing/component company Bicycle Union, he has sponsored some legendary names in BMX and released a handful of iconic videos over the years. He also contributes words and photos to Ride UK, and continues to hold it down on his trusty steed. More recently, Dye, alongside partner Kev Freel, opened London's first and only BMX shop. Dubbed Volt BMX, the shop has a cordial vibe to it, giving riders a place to meet up, buy some parts or even watch a video. Follow the link for a Q&A with John concerning Volt and Bicycle Union.
