This blog is a repository for all my the bike-related studies over the past 20+ years. The content ranges from modelling and analytical studies, to hacks and bodges made to my bike equipment. It's all been done in an attempt to make myself faster on a bike, to make the most of my mediocre fitness.
Blog posts have been written from 2020 onwards. The dates of the posts reflect when the work was originally done.
It’s almost complete now, with just a few older posts still to write up.
I've worked in the aerodynamics department of a large aircraft manufacturer for over 20 years. In my day job, I'm responsible for the prediction, modelling and measurement of the drag and lift of our aircraft. Much of my interest and knowledge of engineering and aerodynamics spills over into my main hobby, which is cycling (Road, MTB, cyclocross and time trialing).
