Michèle Linton

I am a sexagenarian pescatarian cyclist who suffers from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) and Pulmonary Sarcoidosis which means I have only 60% lung capacity. I also have a hand and leg injury. I was unable to cycle for 12 years and only returned back in 2018. All the above affect my cycling but no longer stop or define me and I was advised to cycle by my specialist. I like to get away to different places to cycle and am inspired by art, nature and the scenery I see while cycling. I also take part in challenges to raise money for various charities.

I have also recently been described by Simon Richardson of Cycling Weekly as a one woman promotions machine for cycling in Scotland through my photography of my cycling journeys.
I am now starting to record the occasional journey in video.

I also photograph Scottish Wildlife which can be seen on my Facebook or Instagram under the name of Timorous Beastie Photography.

Update big changes due to the death of my husband I am reclaiming my free spirit and hoping to get back to the adventure!

I am now a She Rides Ambassador.
