What exactly do you do in AZUB?
I help fulfil dreams of adventures and travelling.
How did you come to work here?
AZUB were looking for a new team member, I got the e-mail, read it, but I thought that working for AZUB was unrealistic for me. In the end I gave in to my wife though and went for an interview. And I am glad I did.
What made the prospect of working in AZUB attractive for you?
Ever since 1998, when I built my first recumbent bike, I have been absolutely fascinated by these machines. They had all the things I missed on traditional bikes – comfort, ergonomic seating position, great views from the seat.

What do you enjoy most about your work?
I love the moment when I take a completed bike out of the stand and go to try it out, then I pack it knowing that when somewhere in the world somebody opens the box, it will bring a lot of pleasure to its new owner.
And what do you really hate?

Which AZUB model do you like the best and why?
The Ti-Fly. It is a versatile and comfortable bike, great for long distance
When you are not in AZUB, what do you do?

Which bike do you use the most?
Recently, mainly tricycles. My last one was the AZUB TRIcon and now I have an experimental off-road delta trike. It has been specially adapted for the toughest of terrains. In addition, sometimes I use the company
Ti-Fly. My journey to work takes more than 40
