Specialist subject in cycling is...

Road riding as a form of community and keeping physically active.

Biggest reason to get on my bike is...

To keep me fit, cut down on my travel time, actually arrive at work awake, to practice what I preach and believe and feel I am making my contribution against global warming.

My favourite piece of cycling kit is...

Do not really have one but everyone in the office seemed very fond of my pink bib shorts!!!

Derby is a great to cycle in because...

Great diversity of where and how to get there. Fantastic people to work with (including Dave!!) who have shared goals and enthusiasm. That it is exciting times, that things are changing and we can make a difference.
