A record-breaking cyclist is poised to embark on a 3,000-mile challenge on a handmade bamboo bike.
Ms Strong, who works part time for Climategames and is a performance coach, then plans to cycle along the coast of Wales, through Cardiff and Bristol, before reaching Land's End in Cornwall."It's been three years in the making," said Ms Strong, who is based in London. "I've never cycled more than five days in a row, so I've got 90 days in a row.
Ms Strong aims to complete the challenge on a handmade bike built partly out of bamboo from a kit bought from a company called the Bamboo Bicycle Club.She originally filed the bamboo and connected the pieces with hemp fabric dipped in resin to hold the frame in place.Her bike will now be bound with pre-set steel to help keep the parts together. "Everything else is normal bike components and my seat is my old seat from when I used to race triathlon.
