How are you connected to Life Cycle?

I am a back rider with the Two's Company scheme, where the back riders get to go out on tandems due to their visual impairment.

What's your earliest cycling memory?

I remember going out as a child on a little bike with fat wheels, which we called Noddy due to it being red and yellow. I did progress to a larger bike over the years but when I became a teenager, boys became more interesting I suspect! I was also fully sighted at the time so was able to get about however which way I wanted to.
