I just love riding my bike - no more so than at home in Cardiff and in South Wales on the roads where I started out, riding with my mates who I grew up with.

I regret not paying a bit more attention to Welsh lessons at school. My Welsh is pretty ropey, as back at my school, people didn't take Welsh lessons seriously. My dad can speak it, so I wish he'd taught me some growing up.

I've put on a helmet more times than I've buckled a seatbelt.

Of course you want a better culture of cycling in the U.K. Better roads. More respect.

Just dream big. Go for it. There's nothing holding you back. You can have ups and downs, but if you believe in something, keep the faith; keep fighting. And don't let people put you down.

I don't mind it when people come up to me and say, 'Well done.' That's lovely. The bit that's weird is stuff like... I've had a load of eBay people hounding me. Just sort of getting you to sign stuff which they can then sell.

You will have ups and downs - but believe anything is possible. With hard work, it can come off.

I get moody when I'm tired or hungry. My missus says I get moody... but not with other people. But I can get grumpy.

Winning that team-pursuit Olympic gold medal was unbelievable.

In Britain, we have this attitude that people are one-hit wonders. If it proves that way, I'd rather have had that one hit than not at all.
