On my bike: Jenny Graham

Why do you cycle? 

A variety of reasons: fun, adventure, transport, convenience, fi tness, social. 

How far do you ride each week? 

No idea! I probably go for about five rides a week. 

Which of your bikes is your favourite? 

Has to be Little Pig, my round-the-world-adventure buddy. 

What do you always take with you when cycling? 

Snacks! 

Who mends your punctures? 

Me. But there is a position opening if anyone else would like to? 

It’s raining: bike, public transport or car? 

Oooh, I mean I live in the Highlands of Scotland, so if we didn’t ride in the rain we’d never ride. So I’ll say bike. 

Lycra or normal clothes? 

Both. I wear Lycra shorts mountain biking and woolly jumpers on the road. Just do your thing; don’t worry about looking like a biker. 

If you had £100 to spend on cycling, what would you buy?

My very favourite tool is a Dynaplug; it’s about £50. I’d love some nice Mudhugger guards for winter, then I’d spend the change on lunch. 

What’s your favourite cycle journey? 

One with friends, heading into the mountains. 

What single thing would most improve matters for UK cyclists? 

Mindset – a shift from ‘us versus them’ to ‘we’re all traffic’. The biggest barrier isn’t infrastructure or weather, it’s the idea that roads belong to one group more than another. If we reframed the road as a shared space rather than a battleground, behaviour would instantly soften.
