The Secret Cyclist: 'Too fast for the pathway and too slow for the road'

'There’s a relaxing and enjoyable network of greenways, low traffic streets, and cycle lanes to go from east to west in Cork City'

'I admit to some envy of people who row. To have a place where you can enjoy training and competitions without having to worry about being knocked down, intimidated, or verbally abused.' 

I have a carte blanche to write about cycling, which is both exciting and daunting. I haven’t written about power meters and which carbon bikes take corners the best, as there are far more knowledgeable writers than me in various cycling magazines, blogs, and websites.

A bog-standard account of what a week of cycling looks like for a Joe Soap living in Cork might be dull or thought-provoking, depending on your interest in such matters. So let’s give it a go.
