How did I become a Bike North member and Ride Leader?

Riding the streets and lanes of inner Sydney as a kid, on cobbled-together bikes, gave me my love of pedaling and plenty of mechanical practice. My big splurge was a green Speedwell '10 speed'. It now seems archaic, but for many years this green bike was my transport. I must have ridden thousands of kilometres just 'getting around'. After many worn-out parts were replaced, and three repaints this old bike is still in use.

I was present at the inaugural meeting of Bike North in August 1996 and started running rides on the Bike North program immediately, and still continue. My rides vary from the easiest to the hardest and everything in between. I run rides on Saturdays and Sundays and am usually back for lunch.

For me cycling is the answer to so many questions about maintaining lifestyle, health, fitness, holidays, recreation, social activities and choosing appropriate transport.

I invite you to join me on one of my rides, to Ride and Smile :-)
