I formed Black Cat Cycles as I have passion for engineering, cycling & the environment. Having witnessed the painfully slow efforts by the motor industry to become more environmentally conscious, I feel that the fewer cars & the more bikes, the better. Cycling is booming now & I hope to use my skills & enthusiasm to keep people pedalling.

On a personal level, I am a decidedly average medium distance runner & also an equally average cyclist!! Having completed Norwich to Paris, London to Brighton, Devon C2C, Ride London, Vatternrundan & multiple Dunwich Dynamos, I am living proof that absolutely anybody can achieve their dreams on a bike. It doesn’t matter whether you ride a £10k Parlee, a third hand £50 Argos special or an E-bike, if you enjoy it, that’s all that counts.
