Great first 2 weeks at work! Loving it! On the way home to Leeds! Need to pack and then move down to my new flat next week with @flcreative!

This is the ride from today which I recorded on #mapmyride so happy with the wooden bike! Just glad it's competitive! #Alwin #alwincycles #woodenbike #woodenbicycle #aero #aeroroad #roadbike #bike #bikeporn #bicycle #design #productdesign #industrialdesign #cycling #frame #instacycle #instadaily #cyclelife #shimano #novatech #woodworking #racing #roadracing #bhf #York

Really want this helmet! Shame about the £160 price tag to go with it :/ its all about the aerodynamics! Would be a great addition for my race tomorrow! #Alwin #alwincycles #woodenbike #woodenbicycle #aero #aeroroad #roadbike #bike #bikeporn #bicycle #design #productdesign #industrialdesign #cycling #frame #instacycle #instadaily #cyclelife #shimano #novatech #woodworking #racing

The rains here so time to invest in mud guards! Thinking of the Crud Roadracer MK2s. Can fit on virtual any bike which is great! Protect the wooden bike more! Even though it is waterproof! #Alwin #alwincycles #woodenbike #woodenbicycle #aero #aeroroad #roadbike #bike #bikeporn #bicycle #design #productdesign #industrialdesign #cycling #frame #instacycle #instadaily #cyclelife #shimano #novatech #woodworking #racing

"FIT, comfortable, powerful, aero. These are the priorities of a good bike fit, at least they should be. Jan Frodeno will ride this FIT themed bike on Sunday in hopes to add the title of World Champion alongside the title of Olympic Gold Medalist." #s-works #zipp #aero #aeroroad #roadbike #bike #bikeporn #bicycle #design #productdesign #industrialdesign #cycling #frame #instacycle #instadaily #cyclelife #shimano #novatech #woodworking #racing

"AERO, the vast majority of our effort on a bike is to overcome aerodynamic drag. The less we disrupt it, the faster our efforts will allow us to go. Mel Hauschildt will ride this AERO themed bike on Sunday in an attempt to defend her title as Ironman 70.3 World Champion" Lovely bike especially like the way they have used the CFD air flows as the decals! Nice respect to the engineers and designers #s-works #zipp #aero #aeroroad #roadbike #bike #bikeporn #bicycle #design #productdesign #industrialdesign #cycling #frame #instacycle #instadaily #cyclelife #shimano #novatech #woodworking #racing

By @envecomposites "@parleecycles Custom at its best #irideenve" Such an awesome bike, didgital camo. This reminds me of Call of duty Modern warfare 2! #Alwin #alwincycles #woodenbike #woodenbicycle #aero #aeroroad #roadbike #bike #bikeporn #bicycle #design #productdesign #industrialdesign #cycling #frame #instacycle #instadaily #cyclelife #shimano #novatech #woodworking #racing

Just over 3 months ago I was in a mad rush finishing the wooden bike! Worth all the time and effort I put into it! It's got me a 1st class Hons, an amazing job and I also get the joy of training on it daily! This moment was very sentimental to me as it was getting closer to revealing I'd named the bike after my Grandad (Alwin). #Alwin #alwincycles #woodenbike #woodenbicycle #aero #aeroroad #roadbike #bike #bikeporn #bicycle #design #productdesign #industrialdesign #cycling #frame #instacycle #instadaily #cyclelife #shimano #novatech #woodworking #racing #vinyl #uni #newjob

Cheeky #ride today on the #wooden #bike. Easing it in gently. Not! Quite a few steep hills and got up to 40mph! That's trusting your own #engineering #Alwin #alwincycles #woodenbike #woodenbicycle #aero #aeroroad #roadbike #bike #bikeporn #bicycle #design #productdesign #industrialdesign #cycling #frame #instacycle #instadaily #cyclelife #shimano #novatech #woodworking #racing

Great line from #GordonBrown! Reading a book on #JonathanIves! #design #designer #apple

A render I did of the construction process! All done in #Solidworks #cycling #design #render #indistrialdesign #productdesign #bike #frame #woodenbicycle #woodenbike

Me and Grandad at my final year exhibition. Kept it a secret for so long that I was naming the bike after him! Was great to reveal it! #alwincycles #woodenbike #cycling #bikes
