Are you conscious of fear and shame driving your behaviour? Cyclist Bradley Wiggins feels those emotions have dictated a lot of his decision making across his life.
In this chat with Fearne, Bradley explains that putting all his energy into become a great cyclist was a distraction from childhood traumas.

Now, he’s figuring out who he really is, and what he really cares about.
