About Me

My photo
2Wheel Chick
London, United Kingdom
Hello, I'm Maria David (aka 2wheel chick) and I am a journalist and writer. Getting around on two wheels is something I have enjoyed since as far back as I can remember. Growing up I started out riding around the streets of Nottingham on a Raleigh 14 as a little kid. When a little older I moved on to commuting with my bike in villages in Yorkshire and using my bike to go to lectures at university. As an adult I cycle to various places around the UK and abroad, both for pleasure and as a journalist. Competitive cycling and other sports also give me a buzz and I have been known to do my fair share of races. This blog talks about my adventures travelling and exploring the world by bicycle, as well as getting involved in other pursuits. I record my recollections, thoughts and the stories around the people I meet along the way. You can see my cycling articles in different publications such as Rouleur, Cyclist, Cycling Weekly, and Cycling News. I am also a medical copywriter and love to combine this with writing about sport.
