Cycling

One of my current hobbies is cycling. I started cycling as a kid, enjoyed it for a number of years through into my 20s and then had a hiatus for 20 years before returning to cycling within the past couple of years. I cycle for pleasure and transport and it dovetails quite nicely with my photography hobby – it’s nice to ride out to one of the many nature spots around Oxford or just include them as stops on a route.

You can read a bit more about my earlier cycling years here.

I then had a hiatus of about 20 years before returning to cycling which you can read about here.

A couple of years later I was then hit by a car while cycling – no broken bones thankfully – and so had to get another bicycle.
