I’ve had a bike now since I was 16. My biking anthology is quite varied and I’ve been all over the place on bikes.

Back in 1991 I was made redundant from my job and after a couple of months the money was getting tight, so I got out on my bike and start working as a courier around London. WOW what a way to learn to ride a bike. I survived for 15 months and only had 1 serious accident in that time. I fell off a few times and had bike break down on me, but only one big smash. The sickening thing about it was that I was at fault and try to be invincible.
