Just incase you missed it. I ride bikes. I ride in all conditions, and I ride everywhere. I don’t do it because I want to get fit, it’s not an environmental issue, I don’t do it for training (most of the time) I ride because that’s what I do. Plus, I don’t have a drivers…

Base training that is. It’s that time of year. Racing is over for a few months, a new calendar is made and goals are assessed. Right now I’m in a base period. But it’s not the same base I’m used to. Instead of hours on the bike doing countless k’s, I’m sweating it out in…
Riding is an everyday thing- This is my motto. My bike isn’t just something I race. That came later in my cycling career. My bike is my transport, my freedom, a way to socialise, a fashion statement. I have been riding my bike for transport for as long as I’ve had a job; just over…
