@cybergibbons Emergency lie down

What's your favourite euphemism for falling off a bike? I like "unexpected dismount".

@alexlomas @cybergibbons Yes this one!

@saftycyclist @ScottishCycling @Strava @mister_g20 You’re a visionary! Disruptive behaviour doesn’t always go down well at first 😉 Cheers 🍻

Scottish Champion🥇 It’s taken a few years but I can now add the Senior Cross Country title to the Junior and U23 ones I won nearly 2 decades ago. 📷 @scottishcycling Check it out on @strava - strava.app.link/yhbjw4FlGsb #oldenoughtoknowbetter #wahooligan #ridefasterridefurther

@G_Runner @ScottishCycling Blame the rider, not the tyres!

@DanBiggles22 Hear hear! Great job Dan 👊🏻

But I like my cubicle 🤷🏼‍♂️😂 On a serious note, other people’s ambitions don’t have to be yours. I love everything about what I get to do. My passion is finding speed, whether that’s for myself or others. Follow your own path and not what people say you should do.
