Who are we trying to impress

We all are guilty of tweaking and moulding our social media presence to make things appear better than they actually are from time to time. And when it comes to places like Strava, we can really alter things to try to 'explain away' anything that might give the appearance that we are not incredible, speedy riders. Who are we trying to impress with this and why?

Let's chat about it.

Here are some people/channels where they don't shy away from showing lows along with the highs.

Hi there. I’m just another John Q Public on a bike….a Joshua Q Cyclist if you will - get it JQC, clever right? Well, maybe a little clever.

I’m not a pro, I’m not an expert, heck, I’m not a bike mechanic. So why am I sitting here talking to you about cycling? And the journey that I set myself on? I am one of - who knows how many out there - who love to ride their bike, go fast, and want to challenge themselves on the bike but aren’t racers. No team, fancy bus or team of trainers, mechanics, big budgets, etc, just someone who gets that thrill of freedom on the bike and want to challenge themself to something new.
