 My name is Cam Nichols and this is my cycling story in under three minutes. It was late 2007 and I just returned from a two-year stint living in the UK. I was chunky. Real chunky. I needed to lose some weight fast. I was on the lookout for a life partner after all. I took up triathlons. I lost some weight. I found a girlfriend. Her name was Alice. I kept doing triathlons. I didn't really like to swim nor the run. I got invited by a friend to join a bunch ride. I got dropped after five minutes. But I loved it. I dropped triathlons but kept up the cycling. I bought a new bike. I joined a cycling club. I raced e-grade crits. My girlfriend came home one day and said I'm pregnant. She got pregnant. My dad was fat. Alice and I bought a house. We had a daughter. Her name was Holly. She changed my life. I kept cycling when I could. I bought a new bike. I made it to b-grade in the crits. Alice and I got married. We had another baby girl, Ruby. I grew a moustache. It was kind of creepy. I kept cycling when I could. I bought a new bike. My brother-in-law said let's create an online marketplace for bikes. We did. It was called Bike Chaser. And initially it was pretty average. But we kept working on it. I got past the sleepless nights and the relentless sicknesses of having young kids. I kept cycling when I could. I got the snip. I bought a new bike. I joined a cycling team. I raced hard. I trained hard. I podiumed at some stage races. I made it to a-grade in the crits. I crashed. But I kept riding and racing. I bought another bike. Training, racing, family, work. I was tired. I needed time away from cycling. I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it. Come on girls. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. I got stressed. I got anxious. I tried something new. I did Wim Hof. I got back into road cycling. I did some crits. I wasn't that fit. They were hard. I quit my corporate job. I went full-time on Bike Chaser. The site was improving. I convinced my wife to turn a romantic husband and wife getaway into riding the length of New Zealand in the middle of winter. 2,400 kilometres over 13 days. It was hard. It was freezing. I got injured, but I made it. And I loved it. I got back from New Zealand mid-2017. I got more into content riding and videos with Bike Chaser. I love videos. I love storytelling. And above all else, I love cycling. So I've created this personal brand, camnickles.com, to essentially do what I love doing the most. And that's creating content from within our local cycling community that's both inspirational and entertaining. And because I love road bikes so much, some deep dive product reviews. It would mean the world to me for you to either subscribe, like and or follow, not only to keep up to date with my most recent content, but also I would love your thoughts, ideas and suggestions on future content creation right here. I'll catch you in the next video.
