10 mins with @peterwalker99

Guardian cycling blogger and all round good egg, Peter Walker was kind enough to answer a few questions I posed to him recently. All about cycling obviously. Here's what he had to say.

Do you get out on your bike much?

Most days to and from work. Sometime longer rides at weekend, but not as often as I'd like

What was your first and current bike(s)?

First bike - can't remember. Some kids' bike. 

Currently:
  • a very practical Gazelle with basket & child seat
  • a much less practical Planet X carbon-frame bike with flat bars for commuting
  • a Klein road bike
  • a Klein mountain bike

The greatest cyclist of all time is…

Graeme Obree

Do you think we've passed the tipping point for greater acceptance / participation in cycling in the UK?

Not yet, but we're getting there

What would your cycling utopia look like?

A bit like Vauban in Germany 

Do sportives encourage greater participation?

I think so. They give people something to train for, and thus gets them out on their bikes.
