Robbie commuted 20 miles a day on his bike for a number of years before he discovered you could actually ride a bike "for fun". In 2012 when on holiday in the south of France he was bored and decided to hire a Cannondale road bike for a ride around a lake. He was instantly hooked, and as soon as he got back to the UK he immediately went about buying a road bike and entering a sportive.
He now rides a Felt F5 and keeps a Scott Speedster for the winter months. He has recently moved up to Sheffield from Brighton and is yet to find a piece of road in the area that is flat.
