Omschrijving
Rod Ismay has a passion (some would say obsession) for the Tour de France. Fortunately Rod’s issues found their natural home when his native Yorkshire became the host for the 2014 Grand Départ. Rod also has another passion - as well as cycling he is quite keen on bell-ringing, so why not combine the two?
'The author writes in a racy and quirky style which conveys with flair his distinctive dual passion for bell-ringing and cycling. I was struck by the vision, determination and energy involved in pulling off such an uplifting project.' Reverend Paul Wilson, Cycling World. 'This book is a great tribute to Yorkshire, cycling and community creativity.' David Cox, Cycle Magazine.
Rod Ismay indulges in the ABC of life – Accountancy, Bell-ringing and Cycling.
Organising church bells for the Tour de France was a natural culmination of years spent up towers around Barnsley, encouraging Post Office colleagues to cycle to work and persisting in regular rides up Holme Moss on a 531 steel frame touring bike loaded with unnecessary panniers.
Rod has been formally endorsed by the Post Office as one of its superheroes for Children in Need as a result of serial fundraising projects involving bikes. Rod has been Ringing Master at Hoylandswaine, Yorkshire, and Exeter St David’s in Devon. He is passionate about bell-ringing as a vehicle for arts, community, church service and fun.
He passed his cycling proficiency test in around 1979 and his desk at work is easily identifiable by its collection of polka-dotted garments and cycling mugs.
