In this podcast Technical Writer Seb Stott meets Chris Porter, the man behind Geometron Bikes and Mojo Rising suspension.

With £2bn pledged for green transport in the UK following the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK, there’s great potential to get more bums on saddles when it comes to the daily commute. Cycling to work is healthy, cheap and often faster than driving through a city – it’s also preferable to sitting on crowded public transport! Between our technical editors Tom and Alex, and Content Director Rob, we’ve amassed decades of commutes over many thousands of hours – from hour long rides each way to short spins through town. We therefore thought we’d share our top tips to help you make the most of your cycle commute. We cover the bike you have, or might want, kit to ride in, and a host of other bits and pieces.
