Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome.
He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable.
Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles.
He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds.
He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.

I like that.
…squeaky brakes…
He needs to stay off ’em
I wish I could ride like that!
I have a concern that all ‘edits’ from now on will include smashing of dead trees etc, as well as ‘roosting some loam’ round corners…
I wish I was the sort of rider who could build a new trail and think “I won’t need to do anything with that 40ft bit of hillside because I’ll still be in the air from that jump back there”
Tree ride…….
