      I find my job so much fun! The bicycle industry is very friendly and relaxed. I like this job best of all the ones I have had so far. I get to test ride bikes a lot, and muck about in the workshop, which I also like very much.

      It’s pretty tricky to make a bike because it has to work very smoothly and be comfy, but then it gets taken out into the wind and rain on bumpy muddy tracks and it has to last. A folding bike is VERY tricky because everything also has to fold up neatly. One of the big problems I always have is there’s no space left! But it’s still fun because it’s a challenge.
