The Bicycle Collectors: Matthew Ferguson | Ride24

Matthew spent years away from cycling. But has become a committed rider and collector - again

Eight years later, as an 11-year-old, Matthew started racing competitively on the track, representing Western Province from 1978 until 1990. Shortly thereafter, work and other interests – he also collects vintage Ferguson tractors and plays drums in a rockabilly band – saw his bike gathering dust for some 26 years.

Harnessing his youthful passion for the velodrome, Matthew has since gone on to achieved national titles and has represented South Africa at the UCI World Master Track Championship three times.
