    Mark Simmons is a Brit who spent many years in Canada. When he returned to the UK he was looking for somewhere to live that was bikeable and he fell in love with Chichester.

  • Ruth Speed - From Funtington to L’Étape du Tour
    Jun 9 2023

    Ruth Speed hadn't done much other than childhood cycling and a couple of days on a bike in Milan until a year ago, but next month she is taking part in the gruelling L'Étape du Tour scaling three mountains and 100 miles!

    I talk to her about what prompted her great challenge and about how she thinks the roads around Chichester could be improved to encourage people and women in particular to get on a bike more often.
