Bruce ‘TeapotOne’ Smart
Bruce was trained to ride by the Met – but as he’d already ridden around the world on a GSX-R1000, the hi-viz brainwashing didn’t stick. He escaped into the wild and can now be found on YouTube or Patreon (when not foraging for Irn Bru and haggis at Waitrose) where he’s built a community dedicated to great riding and solid advice. From practical tips and bike reviews to travel vids and podcasts, he has one of Britain’s biggest biking channels. Just remember to like and subscribe every time.

Simon ‘RainMan’ Weir
An accomplished journalist with the likes of Bike, Ride and MCN to name but a few, Simon has an almost encyclopaedic memory for roads and routes all over the world. If it’s worth riding – he knows it. Yes even written a few books on the matter too – (Bikers Britain, Bikers Britain The Tours, Bikers Europe, and A-Z Britain for Bikers – see his website for details)
He also tells the worst jokes EVER
