TrainSharp Coaching x The Bike Tailor

Train smarter. Ride faster. With a coach who lives this stuff.

A perfectly fitted, beautifully built bike is only half the story.
If you really want to feel the difference on the road, you need a smart, structured plan behind every ride.

That’s why The Bike Tailor has partnered with Jon Sharples, founder of trainSharp Cycle Coaching one of the UK’s most respected performance coaches, working with everyone from WorldTour pros to time-crunched amateurs.

When you work with Jon, you’re not buying a generic plan. You’re getting 1-to-1 coaching, built around you, backed by over two decades of experience in the sport.

Why The Bike Tailor Recommends Jon

Pro-level knowledge, explained simply
Jon has worked with riders at the very top of the sport as well as everyday cyclists who just want to be fitter, faster and more confident.
Everything is built around your life
Work, family, other commitments – your training has to fit your real world. Jon designs plans that are realistic, sustainable and effective.
Data with a purpose
Power, heart rate, training load – Jon uses the numbers to make clear decisions, not to overwhelm you with charts.

Your first road race or crit
A big sportive or gran fondo
A multi-day bikepacking / gravel adventure
An Ironman or long-course triathlon

Jon will build a roadmap that gets you to the start line confident and ready.

What Working With Jon Looks Like

You’ll speak directly with Jon about your goals, riding history, available time and any problems you’ve had (injury, fatigue, confidence, etc.).

(Optional but Recommended)
Using lab and/or field testing, Jon can measure where you are now, threshold, VO₂, endurance, strengths and weaknesses – so your plan is built on facts, not guesswork.

Jon then builds a structured training plan around:

Your current fitness and riding level
Your event goals and timings
How many hours you can actually ride each week

You’ll get regular check-ins, plan adjustments and clear feedback, so you always know what you’re doing and why.
