I have always loved sport. What it does for communities, wellbeing and connection. As I’ve moved through the high-performance system, my relationship with sport has evolved. I continue to question the role of elite sport, especially in something as niche and inaccessible as track cycling. I recognise the privilege I’ve had in chasing my Olympic dream, but I’ve come to see the bike as much more than a vehicle for competition. It’s a tool for freedom, self- expression, and connection - a way to see the world.

I’m passionate about helping cycling to become more accessible, reducing barriers to entry, and celebrating the rise of casual and inclusive formats like gravel riding. I want to see the bike used for connection, to both people and the environment. Not just for competition.
