What is your favourite cycling brand? Why?
Rapha. Not that I can afford much but I like the simplicity of the design/colour scheme. Stylish but understated and constructed with attention to detail.
What do you look for in your cycling clothing?
It's got to be comfortable, even after several hours in the saddle. Reliability - should be exactly what it claims to be (whether it be waterproof, windproof, wicking etc).
What is your favourite cycling accessory?
Are shoes accessories? Probably my stupidly shiny red Sidi Dargon 2 SRS Carbons. They make me happy. Otherwise, arm-warmers. The most well-used accessory I've ever bought.
If you could invent anything to make cycling everday easier, what would it be?
A magic, lightweight, fail-safe lock which not even bolt-cutters or angle-grinders could get through (wouldn't get so paranoid everytime I was out of sight of my bike).
What does cycling mean to you? Is it just travel? Or is it a fashion accessory?
Travel, exercise, mens sana incorpore sano etc, friends, adventures, freedom, challenges.
