Founder - Mike Clucas
Career innovator, entrepreneur, and performance specialist
Born in the UK, Mike travelled extensively as a competitive cyclist, racing internationally before settling in Australia in the 1990s. While narrowly missing selection for elite professional teams and the Olympics, he achieved significant success as a Masters athlete, winning medals on the road and track at State, National, and World Championship level. Along the way, an enduring obsession developed: finding smarter ways to make athletes go faster.
The following decade was spent coaching cyclists and triathletes, including leading roles within the Victorian Institute of Sport Triathlon Program and working with the Australian National Triathlon Team during its most successful era.
Over time, his focus shifted from coaching methodology to program leadership, funding, and technology—skills that naturally transitioned into the emerging world of internet-based software and product development. This led to overseeing the delivery of hundreds of websites and applications for clients across multiple industries.
That blend of endurance sport experience, software development, and problem-solving ultimately led to the creation of the FulGaz indoor cycling app in 2014. This app accurately replicates the outdoor riding experience to a level still not seen anywhere else in the industry. What began as a small internal project quickly evolved into a globally adopted training tool and was later acquired by the IRONMAN Group.
Today, Mike's work continues to sit at the intersection of sport, technology, and performance. A lifelong obsession with optimising performance and understanding the principals and technology behind going fast on a bike has lead to the development of a series of products that help athletes perform at their very best when it matters.
