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

Cycling is the only way to free ourselves from the misery of the Tube, the wall-to-wall buses that line Oxford Street, the hopelessness of even thinking about driving.

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.

A lot of the biking sequences in the beginning, like going down the steps and over the ramp, I of course didn't do any of that stuff. I wish I could have but I didn't.

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

I cycled when I was at high school, then reconnected with bikes in New York in the late '70s. It was a good way of getting around the clubs and galleries of the Lower East Side and Soho.

Cycling is open to the whole world.

I want London to be the most cycle-friendly city on Earth, and I want more people to be happy and safe on bicycles.

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

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