Shingleback Setup

Favourite feature of your Shingleback rack?

My favourite features of the Shingleback racks are their sturdiness and durability. I own several expensive bikes, including an e-bike, so it is important to me that they are transported safely and securely. I also really appreciate the tilting function of my 2B90 rack, which makes access to the rear of my station wagon much easier.

When did you first come across Shingleback vertical racks? What were your initial thoughts?

There are a lot of Shingleback Off Road vertical racks being used around Albury–Wodonga. As someone who appreciates quality products, I noticed the racks early on and was impressed by their design, durability, and build quality.

Which Shingleback rack do you run?

Shingleback 2B90

THE FASTLINE BIKADEMY

Who is TFB for?

Everyone. TFB offers junior mountain bike skills programs for riders from 5 years old through to 18-year-old downhill racers. We also run regular adult courses in Albury–Wodonga, Tumbarumba, Wagga Wagga, Falls Creek, and Red Hill (Melbourne), as well as in other locations where we are invited to MTB instruct.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced rider looking to refine your skills, we’d love to help you progress on the bike.

What does community mean to your business?

Everything.
TFB is constantly involved in grassroots MTB events. Although the business now has 10 MTB instructors, we still receive most of our bookings through word-of-mouth recommendations. This is something we are very proud of, as it reflects the trust and support of the mountain biking community.

What sets your business or organisation apart?

TFB was established in 2011. Owner, Julia “Indi” Boer, is a former professional gravity racer with numerous national and international titles. She has brought the same level of professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail into the business.

TFB is proud of its industry-leading planning and safety practices, as well as its commitment to the ongoing development of its MTB instructors. The culture at TFB is built around serving its clients and helping them achieve their riding goals.

Our mission is simple: to make the world a happier place, one rider at a time.

Has your business or organisation evolved over the years? How so?

TFB evolved from a one-woman, part-time passion project into a full-time business with up to 10 instructors. It grew organically and steadily, as I was not prepared to expand until I was confident, we could maintain the high standards of coaching, safety, and customer service that TFB is known for.
