Although technically my husband & I met doing an MBA - actually our lives are now mostly about bikes (apart from a new puppy . . . ) Having about 13 between us & doing all our own work on them, we decided to step off the treadmill & start our own business. Yes - you guessed it - in bikes!! We work from home servicing & fitting bikes. We are both bike coaches & my husband races track. We almost never go on holiday without a bike.

Because we work from home there are bikes everywhere - especially as we are very busy at the moment. It's had to see the TV at the moment as a customer has brought in a couple of carbon bikes which we have leant against the sofa so they don't get damaged . . . Oh yes - and we have a bike shed. I am currently building up 6 track bikes for our club & we have wall to wall fittings booked for next week. Currently my husband is upstairs writing out programmes to send to his cycling coachees.

Don't know what we would do without cycling - am feeling positively evangelical!! It's good to be in London at the moment with cycling increasing faster than we can easily cope with. Seems like most of our friends are cyclists too. Puppy seems a bit slow in getting to grips with clipless pedals - think I might try her with speedplay at first . . .
