Nothing beats the velodrome & track league. Having lived in London for 15 years, it was the bicycle that got me from A-B, I would cycle everywhere. Riding fixed was the thing, I'm a huge fan of the velodrome; HHV Wednesday's track league, open events + weekend training sessions. Moved North of the river and hit the indoor boards with the Full Gas Track League at LVVP.
Fun times. 


Rob and I soon decided to opt out of the corporate world to start our new venture; creating a cycling cafe in Bedfordshire.

We can now be found serving coffee and cake, so come say hi.
