The Mercurial Cyclist

Middle aged, average cyclist, powered by cake and questionable decisions.

Join me as I chase marginal gains, avoid potholes (barely), try to run (sometimes) and fail miserably at keeping up with cyclists half my age. Lots of cycling on all terrains, bit of running, trend following, gear talk and the occasional mid-ride existential crisis - mostly in Lycra.


Life may not start at 40 but its quite fun going downhill.....

Incredible video production with content to back it up, one of the best cycling YouTube videos I’ve seen in a long, long time

An absolute legend. Most of my bike mechanic knowledge comes directly from this man.
Happy retirement Calvin!

Always good to see road I know well under other peoples tyres and this one, the hill that is, is one I know intimately!
Follow Leon if you don’t already, he’s a genuinely good dude

I’ve been looking at the Elite wheels on AliExpress recently but I have a Ryet saddle which is great so this was interesting to me.
Give ‪@cusbaker‬ a follow too, he makes some good videos and a down to earth guy

This is one of those times when cycling gives you a story that you can’t help smiling at.
Sign him up Bas, you know it makes sense
