  • Martin Ohr Martin Ohr I've been cycling for almost 40 years since I got my first bike aged 5. I commute to work in the centre of Leeds every day by bike and do a couple of 100km+ sportives per year. Most years I lead a trip to the Tour de France to ride one of the shorter stages and watch the race fly past.

    I work in IT :(
    I'm married with 3 children :)

    In between all of that I'm also an active football referee, I love reading, swimming and sailing.
