Catalonia Whirlwind Tour & ASSOS Domenica Photo Story

Hi pals, hope you had a good weekend and are enjoying the longer evenings! I’ve just had a great weekend with back-to-back races on both days, the first over at Westpoint Arena in Exeter and the second at the new […]
Winter Sun – Cycling La Gomera
I can’t help but begin this post being annoyed about writing it. Not because I don’t enjoy penning pieces for Bikes n’ Stuff, but because I wrote the whole darn thing once already and just as I pressed ‘publish’ it […]
Video: Riding The Etape Australia by The Tour De France
One of the highlights of last year was visiting New South Wales in Australia and with so many fun excursions, good meals and lovely bike rides packed into just six days, the whole thing seems like a whirlwind tour of […]
VLOG: Gran Canaria training camp paradise
One of my resolutions this year that I didn’t have to abandon due to reasons out of my control (I had all kinds of cycling plans I couldn’t fulfil due to injury etc) was to create more videos for my […]
Video: Conclusions after a summer of swimming
2016 has been a tough year. If I’m totally honest, I’ll be really glad to see this back of it and though it’s only a kind of virtual, fake, made up new start each January 1st, there are things I’d like […]
WTB Padloc Grips and How To Fit Them
I’ve been using WTB products on my mountain bikes for yonks as I’ve always got on with their range of grips, tyres and rims. I’ve actually got a pair of their amazing carbon Ci31 rims upstairs waiting until I finally have […]
Verbier Bike Park’s Opening Weekend
I recently headed out to Verbier for a few days shredding on the Marin Trail Attack courtesy of Verbier Tourism, my first visit to the exclusive Swiss resort since I went their on a summer snowboard camp back in the […]
Rad Race Fixed 42 World Championships
Apologies for the tardiness of this post, I’ve been pretty flat out trying to catch up with work and travel these last few weeks! In the middle of June, the ‘Fixed 42‘ Fixed Gear World Championships took place in Berlin, the […]
Racing La Petite Course Crit In Paris
The weekend before last, I hopped on a train to Paris to go and race the inaugural edition of La Petite Course crit. It just so happened to be the same weekend that the London Nocturne was taking place and […]

After just a few days at home in Devon where I frantically tried to get some work done, do some training and spend lots of time stroking our four cats, last Thursday I jumped back on a plane and headed […]
Video: Woodland Riders Downhill Mountain Bike Race
On Easter Sunday I went to Tavistock to enter the Round 3 of the Woodland Riders Winter Series Downhill mountain bike race. It was a random encounter that led me to even enter in the first place – I’d been […]
Video: Improve Your Road Cycling with me!
A few weeks ago I headed up to the big smoke to go for a ride and dispense a few cycling tips for the Guardian. It was a really ridiculously, crazily, outrageously cold day and we started at the absolute […]
Video: Riding In Switzerland with Assos
One of my favourite parts of my job is visiting my sponsors Assos. With headquarters in Ticino and a very fancy ‘pro’ shop on the shores of the stunning Lake Lugano, it’s certainly never a chore, and not least because a bike ride […]
How to use a foam roller to stretch and massage
Last June, after year upon year of just messing about on my bikes, I decided to give racing a bit of a go and got stuck into some proper training with the help of High Rise Coaching. I’d previously […]
How To Ride Rollers On A Track Bike
Last year at the Red Hook Crit, I had a bit of a wobble getting on the rollers in the warm up zone because I hadn’t been on them for a while and everyone was watching me do it, godammit! […]
Video: Riding the new Charge Cooker 27 Plus
The guys at Charge Bikes are my longest running supporters, seeing fit to hook me up with the now iconic Charge Plug fixed gear bike way back when everyone was getting excited about riding single speeds in the city. I’ll […]
Video Interview with questions by Bikmo Plus
The guys at Bikmo Plus have somewhat generously insured my bicycles this year, and seeing as my bikes are one of the most treasured and loved things I own, knowing they’re safe is quite a relief. To get to know […]
Charge x Canopy & Stars Video and Contest
Charge Bikes recently dispatched myself and Dave off to Dartmoor to enjoy a most delightful camping experience with Canopy and Stars, ride the new Charge 27 Plus bikes and film a little video. Like when we went to Japan last year, our good […]
