Get Involved
I clearly remember how I got back into cycling. I was 35 at the time and our thirteen year old son came home from school one day, wanting help to buy a second-hand road bike to take up cycling as a sport. Whilst I initially thought it might be a ‘flash in the pan’, he persisted and eventually developed into a very good cyclist. Being an interested parent, I thought I should try it out myself and so bought an old second (or third) hand bike to go training with him. I was hooked, and as they say, the ‘rest is history’ – Bob Selden.
