Pete van der Woude

Aside from riding bikes as a kid and teenager, I got into cycling when a previous boss asked if anyone wanted to ride the Cape Town Cycle Tour. Out of 250ish people, I was the only one to put up my hand, and what a great time we had. Her penchant for vintage bikes became mine, and my wife was suddenly saddled with my N+1 steel-frame-bicycle problem, which she hasn’t managed to shake just yet. I love coffee, provided it’s decaf (Heresy, I know!), and I’ll never wear a helmet without a casquette.
