The first ever ‘Retro-Bike Undergound’
So, what is/was Retro-Bike Underground? In a small North Yorkshire village hall in the UK, a group of like-minded cycling aficionados, who mostly hadn’t ever met before, came together one April evening to share their story about a specific bike that they had brought along. Each person had time to
Introducing the Workshop – Part 1
Every Projecteer has to have a shed or space or workshop, right? Of course! I’m no different to any other Projecteer, and I include my wife in this category as she’s got her own workshop as well. In fact, both of our workshops are connected by the overall structure of

The orphan part and other stuff…..
I’m definitely a ‘Glass half full’ type of person. I look for the positive energy, the inspirational people, the amazing situations and the good things all of the time. These things make me feel good, give me creative ideas and help take me to new phases, projects or crazes in
