I’ll be 47 this week, and have a habit of leaving the bike or the trail unexpectedly.

I’m a racing snake called Kevin

Used to play University Hockey when studying in Bolton

Every 2nd week enabled us to visit another Uni to play a match.

My team was shite (won 2 games in around 100 matches), but we ALWAYS won the post-match boat race

Would generally refuse the mini-bus journey home and stay and get lashed up with the hosting team

Different teams who i got to know started calling me Boltonjon and its stuck since then

the ninkynonk is a very bizarre train in the kids tv show “in the night garden”. i tow my twin girls round in a burly trailer and the term just stuck to anything bike related

The proprietor of a late night drinking club in 70/80’s Paddington was a German ex Hitler youth, larger than life etc, character, and he named me Billyboy………and I became lumbered with it. Then I couldn’t get a normal user name for various webmail etc sites so I just continued with it……

Running my shop (Perfect Balance Cycles) takes up a lot of my life but it keeps me sane — most of the time.
