Welcome to Cycle For Your Life – a space where I share my journey through cycle touring, photography, podcasts, and honest reflections on life. This isn’t just about cycling; it’s about the stories, the people, and the lessons gathered along the road. Because much like cycling, life rarely goes exactly to plan.
From the punishing climbs of Mont Ventoux to the tranquil backroads of Thailand, every ride brings its own challenges and revelations. Through my photography, I capture the raw beauty of the landscapes and the unpredictable moments that shape each adventure.
?️ Podcasts – Join me for unfiltered conversations and tales from the saddle. From personal stories like “How Cycling Saved My Life” to interviews with fellow adventurers, each episode offers a glimpse into the world of life on two wheels.
? Shit Happens – Because not every ride or life itself goes as planned. This section is dedicated to the breakdowns, wrong turns, and chance encounters that make both cycling and life’s journey unforgettable.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist chasing new challenges, a photography lover drawn to the road’s beauty, or simply someone looking for inspiration, you’ll find something here.
So, clip in and join me as I pedal through life – one climb, one story, and one mile at a time.

Doing nothing
18th July 2013
Sometimes the only thing to do Is do nothing. When i say nothing i mean no cycling. So I’ve spent the day catching up with family and friends but mostly sitting on the beach watch the world go past quietly reflecting and looking towards my next route and where that will lead. My journey over

What a day. Where do I start. Well firstly the camp site I stayed in last night was great. So I took my time this morning. I hit the road about 10ish and the hills were there to great me first thing but that’s normal now. As I rode I noticed a great photo op

Yesterday I took the train from Granada into Almeria. Then I had an off road ride thru gravel, rocks and sand ( ever tried pushing a 45 kilo bike thru sand! ). When I got to the camping site they charged me €23.00 for one night and a further €3.50 for the WiFi. The night

Street art or Graffiti
13th July 2013
In the main I’m not a big fan of graffiti. I find most of it just tagging and spoils the area. When I visited Roma a few years ago, I was really disappointed that almost everywhere had tagging which made the area feel run down and left me wondering why the powers that be let
