Agit Salman
Head Coach / Founder

Agit Salman

As a 4-time National Mountain Bike Champion and the visionary force behind 29 Inch Academy, Coach Agit Salman bridges the gap between elite competition and personal growth. Backed by advanced skill sessions with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and years of racing at the highest level, Agit brings world-class technical expertise and tactical knowledge to every session.

While he supplies the "big ideas" that drive the Academy forward, his coaching philosophy is grounded in reality. Agit specializes in translating his championship experience into personalized training plans tailored to your specific lifestyle—whether you are an intermediate rider building confidence or an athlete aiming for high-performance results.

Vicky
Nutrition Consultant / Operations

Vicky Walshaw

As a degree-qualified Nutrition Consultant, former Clinical Nurse Specialist and yoga teacher, Vicky's focus is making sure riders aren't just training harder, but getting healthier, stronger and more resilient as they do it. She's deeply committed to long-term performance and longevity in cycling; not burnout, extremes or short-term fixes - and believes nutrition, mobility and recovery are just as important as power.

Working behind the scenes at 29 Inch Academy, Vicky helps keep the engine running - turning Agit's big ideas into smooth, stress-free experiences by handling the thousand small details that make everything work. Think part science brain, part organiser-in-chief.

Warm, light-hearted and often arriving with a homemade healthy bake for the group ride, Vicky is as known for her encouragement as her science. She's especially passionate about bringing more women into the cycling community and helping everyone feel confident, supported and welcome on a bike.

From Everesting and podium finishes in road and MTB races, to bike-packing through Oman and Portugal and qualifying for international events, Vicky understands what it really takes to train, recover and perform in the real world.
