Bicycle House

Meet your Kerrville Tri Official Bike Mechanic – James Balentine owner of Bicycle House!

Although you need to get your bike tuned up before race day and know how to change your own flat tire, James and his team will be available race morning for any unexpected last-minute issues.

For more than two decades, James worked as a bike mechanic at bike shops, including a decade as Head Mechanic for Jack & Adam’s Bicycles in Austin.  For the past 14 years, James has traveled the world volunteering as the mechanic at Triathlon World Championships for Team USA.  He has also helped Olympians for Team USA Paratriathlon in Brazil and continues to volunteer for Team USA Paratriathletes.

James likes bikes. He likes to see and hear them running perfectly because he likes to see you riding them with a smile. His service experience is built around a lifetime passion for all things cycling. He’s been a pro racer, a pro mechanic and pro level bike geek.

We’re lucky to have someone of his caliber at Kerrville Tri Fest.
