Tales from the Saddle — Told in Pictures
Ride. Snap. Repeat.
I’m Nat, a professional photographer known in cycling circles as "The Velographer” because I am super passionate about cycling and photography! I enjoy meeting people on two wheels and hearing their stories of how they came to love cycling, passionate about bringing like-minded people together to create new communities, crazy about creating cycling-related content and making new friends!

Pedals into Purpose
Hi I'm Stu! Fuelled by a love for cycling and friendship, I celebrate the thrill of the ride, the resilience of the journey, and the camaraderie of the cycling community. Through my journey I strive to build connections and foster a spirit of adventure. From endurance challenges to everyday spins, cycling is more than a sport, it’s a way of life. Aiming to be creative with the community at the heart of what I do, I aim to uplift, motivate, and bring cyclists together, turning shared experiences into lasting stories that inspire the next ride.
Emma's reinvention project
Redefining Reality
I’m Em, an everyday gal turned Ironman triathlete on a mission to prove it’s never too late to change your life. Just a few years ago, I was 80kg heavier and struggling with self-belief. Now, I race with purpose, passion, and a whole lot of grit. I’m not the fastest, but I show up and give it a go, every damn time. My journey is about more than finish lines; it’s about transformation, resilience, and proving that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. If I can do it, anyone can. You just have to start.
Crossing countries-
Stach 2 Arc
We’re proud to support Shane Kent as he prepares for one of the world’s most extreme endurance events — the Enduroman Arch to Arc. Starting with a run from London to Dover, followed by a swim across the English Channel, and finishing with a ride to Paris.
Shane embodies the grit, purpose and persistence required to take on this brutal solo challenge few have completed.
As Shane continues pushing toward the start line in August, we’ll be helping him fuel his big training days and cheering him all the way to the Arc de Triomphe.
Rachael Dols
Kona Calling
I’m Rachael a triathlete fueled by grit, stubborn optimism, and delusion. My journey’s been anything but smooth, but I just keep showing up. Because pushing through setbacks isn’t about being fearless, it’s about being relentless. I’ve learnt that growth hides in the tough days, and every detour still gets you closer to the finish line. I want to inspire others to do something that not only scares them, but excites them, you can do hard things! I'm currently training towards the Ironman World Championships in Kona 2025!
Cycling in the UAE
Martin's moving up
Hi, I’m Martin! I’m 12 years old and totally obsessed with cycling. I race in the UAE and internationally, and I spend most of my time training, riding, and learning how to get better. I also share my cycling journey on Instagram and YouTube, where I’m building a community of people who love bikes as much as I do. Whether it’s races, gear, or cool training spots, I try to show what cycling means to me and hopefully inspire more kids to jump on a bike. My biggest dream is to become a pro and one day win the Tour de France.

All about the Altitude
Born in the Alps and now living by the Lake of Constance, I'm a lifelong nature lover and outdoor enthusiast. Cycling has been my passion since 2018 — whether it’s on a road bike, gravel, or mountain bike. If I’m not out cycling, you’ll find me hiking in the mountains or wandering through the woods.
The outdoors is where I feel most at home.
