Welcome to the Drop Bar Diaries

This isn’t about racing, records, or carbon envy. It’s about the rhythm of riding - the steady hum of tyres on tarmac, the friendships that form over flat whites and puncture repairs, and the thoughts that drift in somewhere between effort and ease.

I’m a fifty-something cyclist, filmmaker, and music lover trying to keep the legs turning and the mind curious. Here you’ll find stories from the road, reflections from the edit suite, and the occasional detour into whatever song, ride, or idea won’t leave me alone that week.

It’s about balance, belonging, and the small triumph of still showing up — even when the weather, the work, or the body has other plans.

So clip in, grab a coffee, and join the ride.
