About Me

Patrice Audet: The CycloPat Behind Geeks'n'Gears

Hello, I'm Patrice Audet, the founder and creative force behind Geeks'n'Gears. Born in Quebec City, Canada, and now living under the sunny skies of Spain, my life has been a vibrant tapestry woven from my three greatest passions: cycling, illustration, and e-commerce.

From a young age, I was either biking through the streets of Quebec, drawing my latest inspiration, or exploring the early days of the internet. Biking was my escape and my adventure, allowing me to explore the world around me. Drawing was my way of interpreting that world, infusing my surroundings with color and life. As the digital age dawned, my curiosity naturally led me to the exciting realm of e-commerce, where I discovered the limitless possibilities of the internet.

The Journey: Bouncing Back and Pedaling Forward

Life hasn't always been a smooth ride. I've faced significant obstacles, including burnout, divorce, and financial challenges. These experiences tested my resilience and pushed me to the brink. Yet, they also sparked a profound journey of self-discovery and growth. One pivotal moment was my 10-month solo bicycle trip, an adventure that stretched over countless miles and taught me invaluable lessons about perseverance and self-reliance. This journey is detailed in my book, Imagine my Life!, where I share how transitioning from burnout led me to a life of freedom on the bike.

Creating Geeks'n'Gears: Where Passion Meets Purpose

Geeks'n'Gears is the culmination of my lifelong passions. It's a space where I can blend my love for cycling, my talent for illustration, and my expertise in e-commerce. Here, every design tells a story, inspired by the joy and freedom that cycling brings. Our bicycle-themed t-shirts are more than just clothing; they're expressions of a lifestyle that values adventure, creativity, and the open road.

In addition to our signature t-shirts, I also offer a range of unique products on Redbubble. Each item is a piece of art, crafted with care and passion, reflecting the spirit of cycling and the artistry it inspires.
