I work in London and commute between the station and my office, on a Charge plug single speed. Home is a rural area in the south of England, where I keep four bikes - a Giant TCR Adv road bike (fun), a Dawes audax bike (winter, touring, commuting), a Boardman hardtail (off-roading) and an authentic Dutch Omafiets (granny bike, for tootling down to the shops). 90% of my riding is on the road, I just found I prefer tarmac/speed. I've also done some track riding (awesome) and am eager to spend more time in the velodrome.

Got back on my bike in 2008 to put a stop to middle-age spread. But as well as being very successful as regards weight loss/fitness side, I've also rediscovered "fun" aspect and this is my main motivator nowadays.

I do my own bike maintenance, where possible, and am also a motorist.
