Oh yeah, she’s a really good cyclist.

Katie is a reigning world and European champion in women’s team pursuit as part of the GB team, and the reigning European individual pursuit champion. She came 3rd in the points race during the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, won the 2014 Milk Race and came 2nd in the British National Time Trial Championships.
