The Life & Times of an Ageing MAMIL…
(Or a “Double Brian Tumour”.)
Hi, Welcome to… A Man On A Bike… now known as GLIOBLASTOMA… or Grade 4 of the advanced Brian Tumours.
My name is Paul Ashbury and since mid-year (2024) I have been very ill and am no longer able to ride any road bike.
Glioblastoma, is the aggressive and most common type of cancer that originates in the brain, and has small survival. It is the common type of cancerous brain tumour. The cancer can spread into other areas of your brains and spinal cards.
The exact cause of Glioblastoma is unknown in most cases, but it is thought to be caused my DNA mutations that result in uncontrolled cell growth.
I was confirmed on Monday 1 July 2024; being the time I was confirmed on the “Double Brain Tumour”. I receive links during May and June (2024) and were concerned during July 2024.
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.
Not forgetting my time spent Virtually Cycling, and all the different Platforms that you can try out.
I’ve tried to make the site as unique and as informative as possible. If there is anything you agree (or disagree) with, why not talk with me?
