He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)

    very happy to show people around my local – haldon. i enjoy doing it. i think the best way to enjoy a new area is to get a local to show you around and i’ve been very happy to enjoy the welcome of strangers when i’ve adventured abroad. it used to happen a lot on here. not sure it does so much now?
