Susanna Thornton
YouTube filmmaker
Susanna is a YouTube filmmaker, creating inspirational videos where she shares her love of cycling. She films everything from short journeys to visit friends and family to multi-day tours such as riding home to London from Hong Kong. Her aim, she says, is to show people it’s not difficult. She has had four operations for cancer, as well as chemotherapy, but continues to cycle, and remains cheerful and positive.
“I started on a tricycle, clanking round the cul-de-sac where we lived in Stockport. I discovered maps! As a girl I would head off to the Peak District, to see what was there.”
