The Happy Cyclist

This site was born from the freedom of being on my beloved bike.

It brings me the sense of joy experienced as a child freewheeling down a hill, feet out in front of me as I whooped and called into the air.

I bought it as a form of exercise after back surgery and as well as becoming my main form of physical rehabilitation, it became the same for my mental wellbeing.

I am always smiling when on my bike, and often hello to people I pass, this is repaid with return smiles, waves and hellos. Sometimes one of these people stays in mind and as I finish my ride, I create their story.

I hope you enjoy them.
