Here's me in 2016 -- joking about wanting to learn how to ride a bike. It's an ambition I didn't achieve until 2017, and it took until June of this year for me to actually to it around London.

But if I'm completely honest, riding a bike is never something I thought I could do.
There were lots of reasons why I didn't think cycling was for me. Partly it was fear -- of drivers, of failure, of falling.

Partly it was because I didn't see myself represented in the lycra clad, male dominated cycle culture.

But partly, it was because of my body.
I've always been bigger than I want to be, and I've always been too self-conscious about it.

Over the past few years it's something I've tried to overcome -- trying diets, calorie counting, and all kinds of exercise to try and build a body I was comfortable with.
