Phil Jones is an inspiration. After many years of being overweight and depressed, he was motivated to get on his bike while watching Sir Chris Hoy as part of Olympic Games in 2012. Twenty months later he is 10st lighter and a cycling addict. I told his story in the Daily Record: Chris Hoy inspires man to get on his bike and lose 10 stones
