My biking story

Piers on a bike with his daughter

β€œIn the last few years, I've rediscovered my love for cycling. It has nothing to do with donning lycra and cycling hundreds of miles. It has everything to do with using my bike everyday instead of my car. Whether that is for errands around town, taking the kids to school or just finding great ways to explore as a family on two wheels.

I want the spare tube to be a place where families with young kids can find inspiration, information and a community around city/urban biking. Whether you are new to cycling with your kids, or are already living car-free.”
