This site was created as a means of making information more readily available to race mechanics and those interested in becoming race mechanics. The Mechanics Advisory Council had been providing quarterly issues of Toes Clips by mail and inserted some articles in the cycling federation’s monthly 
magazine, however this information was forgotten or lost once the issue was put away. Thus a means of providing a store house for this information was sought.
Back in 1997, the site existed on free space provided by AOL and contained a few articles from previous issues of ToeClips. A year later the ProMechanics domain was acquired and the site began to grow.
Since then it has gone through some 
layout changes (see photos at right), however the primary purpose has lived on. Due to assistance from other mechanics and members of MAC we continue to add articles of interest and try to keep the website up to date on rule changes, where mechanics are working and how to reach important groups or programs.
