Name: Reuben Player
Age: 17
Where do you live? A stone’s-throw from the shop in Hay-on-Wye.
Current bike(s): I’m a BMXer at heart and ride a custom build United Mothership. I’m also getting in to road cycling and bought a Merida Race Lite 900 over the summer.
How long have you been cycling? Since I was 5, mostly on the BMX. I’ve been keeping the locals entertained with stunts outside the Spar for years.
Plans/goals for 2014? I’m still trying to nail bar spins on the BMX, and get some bigger air off the quarter-pipe.
What is your day job? I’m an apprentice mechanic and help keep the hire fleet shiny.
What do you do other than cycling? Hang out with my friends – either for real or on Facebook.
