  • Why do cyclists make better partners?

    We’re not saying that you should only ever date cyclists, or that your life will be forever miserable if you don’t... however, what we are saying is that next time you’re on “Match.com” and there’s no mention of cycling in their biography, you should most definitely not match! So, what is it about cyclists that make them superior partners to non-cyclists? Well, Fat Lad At The Back have pretty much summed it up for you to make your search for love that little bit easier!

  • Bikepacking with The Original Fat Lad

    The outdoors has always been a major interest for me from as far back as I remember, and with my diary now being crazy, finding time just to get on the bike is always a challenge. So camping and being at one with the elements has taken a back seat for some time, until now.
