Series 7, Episode 5: John Dash

"I volunteer with Cycling Club Hackney (CCH) My, now adult, children grew up riding and racing with the club and I have used a bike for transport all my adult life - and dabbled in a bit of cyclocross veterans racing. My main sport (for 40 years) has been unicycle hockey.  During the week I work as a property management adviser for Quakers in Britain, with a background in building and structural engineering. The Quaker testimonies to: Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality & Stewardship are a valuable guide."

On most Saturdays John sets up a drop in cycle repair drop-in, on a street corner near CCH, with many regulars, including children who he has seen through mnay bikes, and others like delivery couriers who are really reliant on their bikes.
