Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way. It gives you a moment to breathe and think, and get away from what you're working on.

Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.

I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.

Cycling is open to the whole world.

Cycling is a part of my life; it always has been, and I will always continue to cycle. I won't be doing it on the world stage, doing it competitively, but I'll still be out on the weekend with the masses riding around Richmond Park in my Team Sky jersey or whatever. I just love it.

I like to sit down, relax, have a cup of coffee on the terrace and read a book. I like to travel the world - and I'm lucky to see so much through cycling.

Cycling is based so much on form, on aesthetics, on class - the way you carry yourself on the bike, the sort of technique you have.

A lot of fun stuff happens when you go out on a bike compared to when you're in a car. You're more in the environment. It's enjoyable. Even when It's raining It's still fun.

The physical demands of cycling is that it actually lowers your immune system, and you expose yourself to a tremendous amount of elements - so certain people might get a chronic overload and develop, say, bad asthma.

I used a bike in London and that's it. I learnt a lot about biking, and really got into. Now I cycle regularly.
