Keira Bond is a 19 year old Elite (U23) Cyclocross racer who

has 3 different Nationalities!

Growing up, she has spent most of her time in America, but

has recently moved to the UK (Sheffield) to follow her University studies and race the National Cyclocross Series.

Keira’s impressive list of results include a 12th place at the 2022 Cyclocross World Champs as a Junior, 5th in the U23 Road Race National Champs, and 8th at Unbound Gravel against the Elite Women.

She has also strung together a few decent impressive results

this year while juggling her University studies including 4th at
South Shields National Trophy, also against the Elite Women.

As with most athletes at the top level, it’s not all been

easy going for Keira, and she had a big mountain bike crash in April 2022, where she knocked herself out, as well as smashing up 4 teeth, taking her about 3 months to fully recover.

In this podcast, expect to learn..

  • How Keira ended up with 3 different passports by the young age of 19.
  • How the UK cross scene compares to the US.
  • About Keira’s World Cup experiences.
  • And how Keira finds racing and training while also Studying, and staying in Uni accommodation.
  • This was a fantastic conversation, and yet again is a

    fantastic example of why sport and specifically cycling is so wonderful for young people as it gives people fantastic experiences of the world and develops them in many ways both physically and mentally.
