What do you do about food?<br />
I like to think I‘d take a picnic if I‘m going<br />
for a weekend ride, but in reality, I think it‘s<br />
much better to plan a ride that goes past a<br />
pub. That way I don‘t really have to take<br />
anything with me.<br />
Do you have any cheap ’hacks‘?<br />
My cycling hack is a piece of advice – don‘t<br />
believe the hype! You don‘t need anything to<br />
cycle really; no special tools or gear. If you‘re<br />
worried about arriving at work a bit sweaty<br />
and having to bring a change of clothes, it‘s<br />
much better to just slow down and arrive fresh<br />
and ready to work, rather than race along and<br />
need to pack spare clothes to change into.<br />
What‘s your weirdest/most innovative<br />
roadside fix?<br />
I‘ve never had to fix my bike really, although<br />
I‘ve repaired a few punctures on cycling<br />
holidays. The only time anything has gone a<br />
bit wrong was a slight gear mishap on my way<br />
up a big hill, but as luck would have it, the<br />
next person to cycle past was a bike mechanic<br />
who sorted the problem for me!<br />
Would you lend someone your (only)<br />
spare inner tube?<br />
Obviously I would! Well, if I was hours away,<br />
and it was dark, and I was hungry, then maybe<br />
I wouldn‘t risk giving my spare out, just in<br />
case. Otherwise, I‘d definitely help a fellow<br />
cyclist in need!<br />
