Hi, I’m Mark!

2014 was the year I got back into cycling again after a long hiatus.

After many years of slaving away at corporate jobs to put food on the table, I finally rediscovered my passion for cycling and I havenโ€™t stopped since!

Right now, Iโ€™m into road cycling. I am not particularly fast, I donโ€™t ride crazy distances, and I sure ainโ€™t a mountain goat, but I still give it all my best shot and just enjoy riding the bike. Itโ€™s the ultimate de-stresser, right?

I mostly ride a Giant Defy (my back loves that bikeโ€™s relatively upright riding geometry, especially on the longer rides!), but when I need to grab errands, my old trusty flat bar road bike does the trick. Itโ€™s amazing what a pannier rack and bags can carry! I honestly believe that bikes are the future for shorter journeys, particularly in cities. Iโ€™m even more of a believer in them with the rapid rise of electric bicycles.

While I donโ€™t pretend to be as fast as Chris Froome, or as knowledgeable as the late Sheldon Brown, I think I can help cycling newcomers unpack the complicated jargon and help them along with their journey into and through the wonderful world of cycling.

When Iโ€™m not working on bikepush.com, Iโ€™m usually out on the bike, a little hiking, relaxing with friends, music, or even participating in a little pub trivia. Got to keep the brain ticking over somehow!
