Phil Gaimon is a retired professional cyclist who has been destroying strava KOMs all over the world for the last 10 years. We chat about how he likes to set his bikes up for KOMs, where he thinks the bike industry has gone missing and how he keeps on top of his training as he gets older. A big thanks to Phil for taking the time to chat to us.
