Nigel James WilsonNigel James Wilson was born in Sheffield - the City of Steel - on 20th of May, 1966. From a very young age, he was working in his and his father's home and bicycle shop, building bikes and wheels by hand amongst a myriad of other jobs, six days a wee. Later serving an apprenticeship in the shop's cellar and workshop building hand-built bespoke steel cycle racing frames with the master frame builder himself, Nigel's father, Mr J F Wilson.
Better still, Nigel was brought home there after his birth in Jessop Hospital, to the shop house, and at the time of writing, 55 years later, he is still there, living, working and now writing in a lifestyle unique, in the 102nd year of his father's anniversary and his shop's 73rd anniversary, which this book happens to mark.

Also, at times when a very young boy, Nigel was entertaining the ladies in his mother's hairdressing business, Olive's Salon, that was upstairs in a couple of rooms of the terraced house-cum-bike-shop, just across the landing from his bedroom.
