\"Screenshot Hi everyone! <\/p>\n

I am 21 years old and a 4th-year student at the University of Edinburgh studying mechanical engineering whilst also working as a freelance social media content producer. It is with this work that I have become involved with the Bike Coop, creating content for their Instagram channel. As some of the posts have a focus on showcasing cycling lifestyle and the community itself I thought it would be good to properly introduce myself to followers of the page. <\/p>\n

I have been intrinsically involved with cycling since I was 10 years old – inspired after watching ‘The Clan’ stunt bike team perform in my local town. Since then I began building jumps down my driveway and entering local MTB races before transitioning to a more road-orientated focus over the last couple of years. Subsequent to joining the cycling club at University I joined a Scottish team, racing on the road circuit at a national level and have also joined a Top-10-in-the-world-ranked Zwift team, a hobby I picked up during last years first lockdown.  <\/p>\n

I still love off-road riding and exploration, and there is plenty of it available in the quiet countryside of Galloway where I live when not at university. Most recently I have been using the gravel bike as my instrument of choice for investigating new trails and map contours, its ability to handle some off-road hits and still pedal with great efficiency has made it a great companion as I embark on 100km adventure rides. I haven’t neglected my MTB heritage though, I still make it a priority to attend our ritual of Thursday Night MTB rides in Dalbeattie.  I must admit I do so by borrowing my Dad’s Whyte T-130 – aren’t Dads great? <\/p>\n

That’s it from me – for now! After sharing this background info you’ll probably be able to spot the posts I have done for the Bike Coop over the last few months, but to make it even easier in future I’ll be signing off the personal posts with my initials ‘LM’. <\/p>\n

All the best for now, and happy riding. <\/p>\n

Louis Moore <\/p>\n
