Medusa Cycles began life in 2023 from the hand of Pete Skelton in Manchester, England. Pete’s designs are inspired by the conditions of riding to be experienced in the Pennine landscape of Northwest England. Steep inclines and well weathered roads are the staple for Medusa Cycles, and the mantra of riding further on comfortable bikes, all year round, runs through Medusa’s veins.
Pete builds award-winning bikes to turn heads and capture the imagination, and at the 2024 UK edition of the Bespoked Handmade Bike show, an example of the Medusa Deka won first prize for ‘Best Gravel Bike’ and ‘People’s Choice’. Pete’s work has also featured in the media, catching the eye of magazines such as Bikepacking.com and Cyclist magazine. Check out the ‘Media’ tab at the top of the page to see more.
