The Founder

 

The story of Never Follow begins in Edinburgh, Scotland with me; Tom, a mid-30’s bike obsessed, lover of adventure and the outdoors. As an officer serving onboard a merchant vessel, I took the opportunity to sneak away for a quick bike ride to explore the city. The ride was suddenly and painfully halted by an intimate meeting with the windshield of a local bus. Waking up in the local Intensive Care Unit, with many parts of me in pieces, it soon became apparent that I was lucky to be alive. 

 

 

After a long and winding road of recovery with many ups and downs I decided to mark my return to riding by competing in the Tour of the Dragon, a mountain biking epic held in the remote and unique country of Bhutan. It was on stunning climbs of the Himalayas, racing hard, that the scale of my journey dawned on me and my philosophy for life became crystal clear.

 

 

Never Follow captured this mindset. When challenged we can either ‘make do’ or we can ‘make the most’, Never Follow seeks to always rise above and make the very most of life, no matter the situation.

 

 

With Never Follow I wanted to share this approach to life with others. No matter what your ambition, goal or target, voices both internal and external will tell you what’s not possible but it’s those that have the courage to Never Follow that will find success.  

 

 

Let the adventure continue...
