Park Tool's Calvin Jones to retire after 28 years
Calvin Jones, Park Tool's director of education and the moustachioed face of the brand's maintenance videos, has announced he will retire after 28 years with the company. Jones joined Park Tool in 1997 and became one of the world's most well-known bike mechanics through 15 years of YouTube how-tos, alongside product development and customer support duties at the American bike maintenance brand.
Jones, who started out in a bike shop in 1973 and went on to work as a USA Cycling team mechanic and an instructor at the US Olympic Training Centre, among other roles in the industry, said he plans to pursue new education projects, get more fit, and focus more on riding bikes.
