'It helps maintain my sanity': How Cycling Weekly readers are riding during lockdown

We asked and you responded

The coronavirus pandemic has and will continue to have a huge impact on all of our lives. During this difficult period it's been more important than ever to take some enjoyment wherever we can find that.

For cyclists that means riding their bikes. While different countries currently have varying restrictions it seems that people have been getting out on their bikes more than ever, which can only be a great thing if people are doing it in a safe way given the current circumstances.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
