Todd Herriott was a professional cyclist, and is now one of the most experienced and respected bike trainers around.

He founded Herriott Sports Performance, a company which lets him pass on his expertise in coaching and strength conditioning for endurance athletes.

Herriot spent many years on the pro tour, which has allowed him to pick up the very best of the training techniques that are out there. His experience as a personal trainer at one of New York's health clubs, helped him develop a vast knowledge base about "what works" for athletes.

He won many fans throughout his career, and was reknowned as one of the most hard-working and dedicated cyclists around. It was his will to win (as well as to finish) that inspired his fans the most, and inspired this website.

Please feel free to post a message to Todd, and hopefully oneday he will read them :)

With the launch of the 2011 range of Boardman Bikes happening on Thursday, we thought we'd give them a road test for our readers. These are the kind of bikes that pros like Lance Armstrong and Alessandro Petacchi like to be seen on!

The Boardman Road Pro Carbon, priced at £1800, will be the centre-piece bike of the Boardman Performance range, using the same frame design as the brand new Elite Seris AiR (aerodynamic racing) frame.
