Cycling

One of my hobbies is cycling. I started cycling as a kid and enjoyed it for a number of years through into my 20s before having a hiatus from it for 20 years. I have returned to cycling again within the past couple of year, cycling for both pleasure and transport. It dovetails quite nicely with my photography hobby as 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 write about my return to it after the hiatus here.

And finally I write about being knocked off my bicycle by a car (no broken bones, thankfully) and the two bicycles I got next.
