🚴♂️ Meet one of the riders behind the North Bucks Bike Ride!
Having been involved from the very first North Bucks Bike Ride, Nick Cleaver has seen the event grow into something truly special.
“Every year brings the same incredible sense of achievement — not just for me, but for everyone who takes part.
What I love most is how accessible it is. You don’t need expensive equipment to join in; a road-worthy bike, a cycle helmet, and a bit of willpower are all you really need. And once you’re out on the route, the atmosphere carries you.
It’s inspiring to see riders go further than they ever thought they could. Watching people push past their limits, surprise themselves, and cross that finish line with pure pride is one of the reasons I keep coming back.
The North Bucks Bike Ride isn’t just a cycling event — it’s a community, a challenge, and a reminder of what we can achieve when we come together for a great cause.”
We’ve discovered the secret behind Nick’s long-distance cycling success… 🍌
Apparently, the only time he eats bananas is on a long ride. So, if you ever spot him buying some, you’ll know he’s training 😄
