Tom Pidcock grew up with his parents and younger brother Joe in the English county of Yorkshire; a part of the UK with an enviable track record for churning out sporting talent. With both parents keen cyclists, Tom started riding at the age of three and it wasn't long before he'd fallen in love with it.
Although born and raised in the north of England, he actually learned to ride on the paths around the famous Herne Hill Velodrome in London – one of the world's oldest velodromes and, at the time, the only one in the city. From then on, Tom and his bike were rarely seen apart; he'd ride everywhere, on any surface, and would even get in trouble for pulling wheelies on the school playground.
