As a kid growing up - I can see now - it didn't matter what I did, as long as it was something I could be really good at. Cycling just happened to be the opportunity that came along.

There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.

I spent a couple of months just riding a bike doing my own training in the streets.

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

So while I was studying, I rode my Trials bike, then I moved to roadracing.

One thing I learned about riding is to look for trouble before it happens.

I began cycling round the Serpentine because it was the only closed route in London where I could ride traffic-free.

I know the freedom that cycling gives you in terms of being able to just jump on and go.

I believe there are two periods in life, one for the bike, the other for becoming active on one's work.

Cycling was the sport of our family - we did it all the time, five days a week.
