What, if any, parallels could you draw between design and bike/ BMX riding?
They're both major creative outlets. Any sport not governed by a coach/mentor will evidently allow individuals to put their own touch on things. It's the freedom to experiment that often results in innovation and progression. There's the obvious areas of both design and riding that fall into the more commercial or athletic, but there's always people doing things differently. To break it down to it's most basic form: they're both ways of expressing yourself.

Name:
Corinna Gardner
Role at V&A:
Curator of Contemporary Product Design
I'm standing in the John Madejski Garden in front of what was once the main entrance to the V&A Museum. Opened to the public in 1865, the doors, just seen in the background, show historic figures representative of the arts and sciences, including Astronomy (Newton), Mechanics (Watt), Sculpture (Michelangelo) and Painting (Titian). The doors represent the then ambition of the museum to unite the arts and sciences and they, alongside the extensive facade decoration, proclaim the museum's commitment to cultural education through the visual arts.

UK Continental rider and constructor Tom Donhou recently relocated his workshop to Hackney Wick (near the Olympic Park) in east London. We paid him a quick visit.
How did you become a bike builder?
I started off with downhill mountain bikes and BMX'ing. I began a career working in product design but found it fairly soul destroying. Then, a few years back I gave that up, travelled to Mongolia with my bike in the back of a truck and rode out across the Gobi desert, through China, Vietnam, Thailand. Eight months on the road gave me plenty of time to think. I actually thought I'd come back to the UK with a business plan for a nine-hole crazy golf course but ended up doing this.

Seventeen year-old Tao Geoghegan Hart, born and raised in east London, is part of the British Cycling Olympic Development Programme and races for CC Hackney. A precocious talent and fast talker, I met Tao at the Rapha Cycle Club in Soho to discuss crashing at Roubaix, texting Tom Boonen and modelling for Rapha.
Did you ride here?
