The (un)official RetroBike trail of Fame.......

My late and much missed uncle. We rode many miles together over the years, he is the sole reason I'm driven to and enjoy riding.
I'm happy to delete if I've missed the point, which is not unheard of

Mr Graeme Obree for me.

I like that he ploughed his own furrow and I would like to tap into his determination, how he was able to dig so very deep when he needed to.

He’d be amazing to ride with. A nice quiet Sunday morning outing eh?

Maurice Selbach, a bicycle innovator in so many ways, would be so cool to chat about his ideas, and see what he made of bikes today.

Well considering my health and lack of fitness, anyone with first aid training.

I would choose my younger brother Wayne, who passed away a few years ago. He ran a cycle repair business in Bury, and loved knocking about on singlespeeds. I introduced him to the joys of one gear riding in the mid 90's, when I had a Giant carbon mtb built for his birthday.
He was a joy to be with, and a potter around the canals of Lancashire is about as much as I can take these days.

I know our kid wasn't famous, but that shit's overrated! The human spirit is alive in us all, celebrate it.

Time is all too short....x

I would love to have a ride with Paul Brodie or Chris Chance. They both look such nice and down to earth people.

Dan Gerhard and Jake Heilbron would be pretty interesting for me to ask a bunch of Kona questions. For good company I'd probably pick Martyn Ashton. I went to see one of his talks a year or two ago, and it was one of the most enjoyable evenings out I've had.
