Cycling Electric: Two mums and toddlers take on a Turkey e-bike fundraiser
As seen in Cycling Electric, 27 October 2026.
Mark Sutton has featured our Turkey cycling adventure, exploring how e-bikes are helping Tori Williams and me bring our toddlers, Leo and Skyla, along for an ambitious journey of more than 1,000km.
The piece introduces our two riding legs, flexible plans and motorhome support, alongside the personal stories behind the adventure. For me, it is another chapter in adapting to life with chronic pain after my cycling accident. For Tori, fundraising for Leukaemia UK honours her mum Wendy, who died when Tori was ten.

I'm a bike loving, free spirited adventurer born and raised in England. Life took a turn in 2014. In a single moment life as I knew it was taken away by the momentary lapse in judgement of a red-light-jumping car while I was cycling. My recovery to fitness took a little over 7 years with 7 major surgeries and since that day I've made it my goal to make the most out of life. My biggest goal is to help encourage others to get up and get out there. It doesn’t matter what it is, but we all start somewhere and if I can do it, so can you! Let’s make the most of life, what we do have around us and have fun doing it.
