for university because with it being a British territory, it’s sort of easier to study here. I don’t have to pay international fees. And then I met my husband and then I got stuck here. [laughs] Nothing on these gorgeous... oh gosh... nothing quite like the railway trails in Bermuda. But... I am tempted to go. Yeah, just gonna have to risk it. And then... this is gonna be dreadful... I hope that someone’s reported this. This is an accident waiting to happen! So we’re gonna take this little thing off. We’ll go that way […]

…I think when my husband and I realised we were going to be together for life, we had this sort of, “do we live in Leicester or do we live in his hometown?” which is Grantham. But clearly, I won that argument. [laughs] And it’s good because Leicester is a lot better for cycling.

…even though it’s not something that he did everyday before he met me, it’s now something that he does do every day now having met me. [laughs] So I’ve spread the cycling fever as it were. [laughs]

Dulce: That’s nice to hear. Often you hear the other way around, that the male partner convinces the female partner.

Eden: Not me. Like, this is how we’re gonna roll, man. [laughs] Mmm. No.

Dulce: So not in your case. I think I’m going to take a layer off.

Eden: I know I think I’m gonna do the same coz it’s really warm. Yeah. We got lucky.

Yeah, I think it was it was sort of just one of those things that we did as kids. I mean, I had quite an unconventional childhood. So, I was home schooled. And so that means I was taught at home by my mum. I’m the eldest of four kids. So we had quite a clan. And I guess I remember cycling, but I must have been like four or five just really small with what we call in North America training wheels. I think here they’re called stabilisers. [laughs] I had training wheels, fell loads of times. But once I was up and running, I like I just couldn’t stop. And then because I was home schooled, we obviously had to have an element of PE, and for our family cycling was PE. Yeah, I mean, I have to be honest, there are loads of times I didn’t want to cycle. I think, you’re a preteen or a teenager getting up at half, six, half, seven, even if it is cycling around gorgeous railway trails, it’s not always the most fun thing to do. But my parents sort of encouraged me to persist with it. And then I think in college because I did go to college around 16 when I finished home school, I didn’t cycle because I just had so much to do studying wise and I lived close to the college, so I didn’t need it for commute. And then I came to university here. And I just, I was spending so much money on Uber. [laughs] I was like, late for my lectures, and I was just thinking, “Oh, my goodness”. I think, because Bermuda is so small, it’s like a mile wide. And it’s 20 miles long, and everything is just like really close to each other. And then coming here, everything felt like so far apart. And so for me, it was just like, so easy to impulse order Uber, because it could be like a world away. And yeah, that clearly was not sustainable. And so I actually, where I lived in my halls was next to, or it became next to an Evans cycle shop, they opened up soon after I started uni. Very, very convenient. And because I was sort of bad with money, and I was like, “Oh, new shiny thing!” And I just went in and I was like I want to maybe cycle to university, you know if you could recommend me a bike and they had loads of options and we can add zeros and take zeros away. I mean, we’ve got every price option as well. So that’s how I ended up with this one. And I don’t quite know why I chose bright blue but bright blue it was! [laughs] I thought actually having a basket would be good for when I’m doing like my Asda shop or bringing back books from the library. And I said okay, well, if I could use this at least for half the Uber journeys then it will pay itself
