I went to see Ocean Colour Scene at Shepherds Bush and and felt part of something. They paved the way for me.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I was a bit of a loner at school because I was into what I was into, that sort of scene; that is where the whole mod thing started, when I was 14-15.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
Everything I achieve affects my family as well, and suddenly, my kids' dad became the most famous man in the country for a couple of weeks.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
Things change; your priorities change in life. So I'd never think of riding 100 miles on Christmas Day now, because I've got two kids, and it's selfish.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I just felt that if the team is doing seven hours, I'd want to do eight. I'd always need to do more. I knew that would make me better than everybody else.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I always found that the more extreme and the more eccentric I was, that's what would separate me. I always felt that I needed that separation; otherwise, I'd just be like everybody else.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I had a small investment in Twofold, following guidance from my professional advisers. I had, however, claimed no tax relief of any amount in regard to this investment. Given the concerns raised about it, I have now instructed my advisors to withdraw me from the scheme with immediate effect.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I may never get back to the track. The problem was that I was dominating my event, and the winning became slightly boring. I wanted new challenges, and I've got that on the road.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I don't make predictions. I know what I can do, and I try not to think too far ahead.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
It's difficult, and it's an incredibly fine balance between getting your weight right down and being anorexic.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I think my wife has struggled a bit because of how obsessive I get with what I eat and stuff.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I was a fan of Lance Armstrong, and I remember watching him win the Worlds in '93 in Oslo.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
One of my all-time favourite guitarists is, in fact, a bassist - John Entwistle from The Who. He's one of my all-time favourites, the way he kind of expanded. I mean, he could have been a lead guitarist and been one of the best guitarists in the world. He wasn't even bass player; he was a bass guitarist, and he took the bass to another level.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I've got a EC3-35 Gibson, which is pretty cherished. I've got a vintage Reichenbacker 330 in fireglow, which is the other one I look after and don't let the kids touch.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I've always shied away from computers, the Internet and all that. I'm a bit more traditional, really - pick up a newspaper, pick up a phone.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I'm not really a computer man, to be honest. I check my emails every couple of weeks.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
You know what? I've won the Tour de France, and now I feel ready to talk about it.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
When I did win the Tour, I felt I was feted more in the U.K. for being an Olympic gold medallist... Then I come back to Europe to race, and they're not interested in the Olympic gold; it's about being the winner of the Tour de France - here he is.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I didn't like doing team presentations at races, being introduced as the winner of the Tour. I felt quite embarrassed by it.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
You take for granted that you can walk. You do it every day, and then suddenly you can't walk, and you have to remember, 'How did I get out of this chair and start walking in the first place?'
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
You think if you win the Olympics, you'll become a millionaire overnight. But I was still scraping the barrel, looking down the back of the settee for pound coins to buy a pint of milk.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
You train all year for the physical aspect of cycling, but you can't plan for what comes next. You're still the same person. External perceptions might change, but inside, you're the same.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I've got an opportunity that not many people have - to be the leader of Team Sky as I enter the prime years of my career.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I feel a different person in a lot of ways. I feel much more professional and dedicated to my trade than I used to be. I appreciate this ability I've got - and don't take it for granted any more. That fits every aspect of my life now.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I've become more of a climber now - who still keeps that time trial as strong as ever. It gives me such self-belief. I feel a different athlete.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
That period afterwards, just hating being the winner of the Tour de France, hating cycling, hating the media for asking me questions about Lance Armstrong.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
My dad was a professional track racer. It's in my genes, and my first memories as a baby were in a velodrome.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
You can plan physically to try to win the Tour, but I could never plan for what was going to happen after it.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I began cycling round the Serpentine because it was the only closed route in London where I could ride traffic-free.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
Growing up, the news agents round my way in Kilburn all had 'Time Out' on their shopfronts. The logo is a London icon.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
The 2012 Olympics is a fantastic incentive for everyone to help leave a sporting legacy and show that Britain is truly a great sporting nation.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I was born in Belgium, but we moved to Kilburn when I was one, so 'Time Out' has always been in the background of my life.
