The Life & Times of an Ageing MAMIL…
Hi, welcome to… A Man On A Bike… the Life and Times of an Ageing MAMIL.
My name is Paul Ashbury, and for the last 30+ years I have been riding a road bike… so tips, ideas and random thoughts from somebody who should know better…
This is a website for the passion of cycling related items, ideas and projects. It is a personal website, all about the cycling concepts that interest me.
From, adventures on a bike; my involvement with SpeedX Bikes and their spectacular rise and fall; some of the brands and products I’m interested in; to some sporadic thoughts about cycling, life and business in general.
