Hey, I’m James Benson-King or also known as @bikingvikingrides! I’m an endurance cyclist and content creator on a mission to push past my limits on a bike and inspire others to do so as well. Whether that’s cycle touring across continents, racing across countries in ultra events or fatbiking on arctic snow. I love riding unsupported and exploring the world by bike!
What’s coming up for me?: In May 2025 I will be taking on an endurance race in the UK called the Southern Divide. It’s 700km long and will be a chance for me to test out my ultra setup on my Kevin. Then in June I head out to India to attempt to set a world record cycling from sea level to the world highest road - Umling La at 5,888m. Once I return I will then take part in VIA II in July. A 4,000km race across Europe. But my big goal is coming next year as I plan to be the first person to cycle unsupported to the South Pole!
Why Curve?: I first heard about Curve last year when I met the Curve Cycling team on their UK tour. I quickly fell in love with the bikes but not just for the engineering. I felt like the bikes had so much character and I could myself riding their bikes through some crazy places. I kept in touch with the guys and following their story and I just knew I wanted to be a part of the Curve family!
Let’s ride.
