Mr. Basden came to Half Fast Velo seeking refuge after being used and abused on and off the bike by his former team(s) he helped run into the ground.
He didn't learn how to ride a bike until his mid 30's as he doesn't have a competitive bone in his body, but still decided to take up racing bikes for "fun".
Known for suddenly bonking in easy cat 4 road races as the "pack conversation wasn't stimulating enough" in order to be caught by the women's field and sit in as the "scenery" is much better.
Also known for falling off his bike a lot resulting in too many sexy surgery scars to count which helps in keeping the local hospitals books in the black.
