Duke Agyapong
Mi nombre es Duque Agyapong. Y me encanta andar en bicicleta. Anteriormente, un mecánico de bicicletas se convirtió en aspirante a corredor, las bicicletas han jugado un papel muy importante en mi vida durante los últimos 10 años. Me han llevado por todo el mundo y me han ayudado a forjar amistades por las que estoy muy agradecido. El poder de dos ruedas es inmenso.

| Where you live now | London, England |
| Main cycling disciplines | Fixed gear, track cycling, gravel and road |
| What drew you to this type of riding | Coming from fixed gear riding, there was nothing like trying to race against cars. Funny enough it's very similar to a criterium or the start of a cyclo-cross race. Finding comfort amidst the chaos. |
| Ideal training ride | Eighty miles with a lot of climbing. It means a lot of descending too! Ideally in Austria with sunny, warm weather, blue skies, smooth roads, dreamy. |
| How do you push through suffer sessions | By remembering that the work I'm doing now will benefit me in the future. Having goals to reach help me focus. |
| Ideal race | Crystal Palace Crits in London. The course and atmosphere is unmatched. From local riders to World Tour. There’s always a very stacked field. |
| Favorite place to ride | San Francisco. Getting out of the city is pretty easy and once you hit the climbs the views are incredible! Plus wide roads are always a bonus. |
| Career highlights (cycling or otherwise) | None yet as they are yet to come! #keeptrying |
| What you bring on every ride (besides basic repair tools) | These days, I make sure I bring a camera. You never know what you're going to see on new roads and trying to capture moments is a challenge in itself. Also having a friend with you, creating memories! |
| Favorite CADEX product | Easily the CADEX race tire. It's grippy, fast and reliable! They give me extra confidence when cornering fast in a criterium. |
| Tips for aspiring racers | Consistency is key! |
| Life motto | Give more than you take. |
