Welcome to Cycle For Your Life – a space where I share my journey through cycle touring, photography, podcasts, and honest reflections on life. This isn’t just about cycling; it’s about the stories, the people, and the lessons gathered along the road. Because much like cycling, life rarely goes exactly to plan.
From the punishing climbs of Mont Ventoux to the tranquil backroads of Thailand, every ride brings its own challenges and revelations. Through my photography, I capture the raw beauty of the landscapes and the unpredictable moments that shape each adventure.
🎙️ Podcasts – Join me for unfiltered conversations and tales from the saddle. From personal stories like “How Cycling Saved My Life” to interviews with fellow adventurers, each episode offers a glimpse into the world of life on two wheels.
🚴 Shit Happens – Because not every ride or life itself goes as planned. This section is dedicated to the breakdowns, wrong turns, and chance encounters that make both cycling and life’s journey unforgettable.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist chasing new challenges, a photography lover drawn to the road’s beauty, or simply someone looking for inspiration, you’ll find something here.
So, clip in and join me as I pedal through life – one climb, one story, and one mile at a time.

Customer service is alive and kicking at Evan cycles Camden, from where Jason purchased his Dawes Galaxy bike from store manager Barry Godin. Dealing with two complete novices must of tested Barry’s patience and our constant verbal bickering at each other did not make Barry’s job any easier. Barry explained the features and benefits of
One Weeks To Go

There is less than one week to go before I start my cycle journey around North West Europe and to say I am excited is an understatement. What started off as a dream is now a reality. The months of planning will soon end and all that is left is the doing. No more “if only”.Adventure is

Do I Really Need That?
9th May 2013
With less than three weeks to go before I set off, I thought it would be a good idea to see what is what. So this weekend I took out everything I have got so far and put it out on the floor. At first glance it didn’t look that much but when I started putting it into the
Cycling Master Chef !!
19th April 2013
To cook or not to cook? That is the question I have asked my friend!. The majority think that it’s not necessary as being in Europe I will never be far from a restaurant or coffee shop of sorts. Although I agree in the main, I think it would be foolish not to at least carry a
