Hi I’m John,

I’m a Cycling enthusiast sharing my adventures, Create and motivate while riding my bike, Cyclist with Diabetes Type 1.

When I started high school, I had one goal or dream in mind. join the dutch marines, the job i was dreaming off since primary school.

At the beginning of my second year of high school i got really off, and feeling sick. Time to see a doctor, in a week time my dreams shattered. It turned out I had type 1 diabetes. Thats quite a change on a young age!

It soon became clear to me that i couldn’t follow my dreams any longer. Altough i quikly found a new goal in life, I struggled a lot with my fitness and health.

After a recovery program to get myself back in shape I finished highschool without my exams. Still no certificate but going for the new path to become a building engineer.

I started a secondary vocational education to make the first step onto my new dream job.

At the same time cycling became more important to me. It was the perfect way to get my sugarlevel under control, and work on my overall condition.

I finished secondary vocational education and get to higher vocational education to make the second step. I finished all of the subjects and years only didn’t graduate because i didn’t finished my bachelor thesis.

I was very fortunate to have a job at an architect at the time. So i got the chance and decided to get to work fulltime there.

In my freetime the focus on cycling became more and more an important thing in life. Also to keep fit and healty.

Now the focus, goals, fun and passion for cycling is there and i like to share it with you.
