Bishop said it was while he was reading the results of the Tour de France on the outside step of his childhood home in Kalamunda that he first dreamed of becoming a world champion cyclist.
Last month the cycling veteran clocked a new world record at the World Track Cycling Championships in the Men’s Masters 8 over 2000m.
