Carles Carrera
Co-founder, Product & Marketing at AMS
Let’s connect
I’m Carles Carrera, co-founder of AMS, the Barcelona cycling accessories brand behind bike protection, MTB grips and road & gravel bar tape.
Biography
My cycling journey began around 2004, and apart from my childhood experiences, it took off in earnest when I discovered Enduro mountain biking. This passion eventually led to the creation of AMS in 2013. In 2017, I decided to give gravel cycling a try. As a dedicated mountain biker, I initially approached it wearing baggy shorts, an Enduro helmet, and a t-shirt, sticking mostly to singletrack trails. However, my interests evolved, and now I'm fully immersed in the world of lycra, fast gravel paths, long distances, and pushing the limits of speed on my gravel bike. I'm completely hooked!
Personal Interests
Besides cycling, I'm really into moto: trail, trackdays, flattrack and road. I also enjoy investing, health and longevity. I love reading about these topics and listening to tons of podcasts. I think I consume over 15 hours a week. These interests keep me balanced and always learning something new.

Maybe I should be more private, but at the same time I love experimenting, trying, writing and building in public, so you can find me almost everywhere, but mainly:
