Schweitzer Klassifikation
Growing up in Teesside, Tony Harker started walking on the moors at a young age in the 1970s. Tony later discovered mountain biking in the 1990s following a history of knee problems and he is still going strong, even following a full knee replacement! Tony's passion for the moors and for riding shines through in this guide. When not riding, Tony runs Fanatic Sport and Leisure (www.fanaticsportandleisure.co.uk), the UK's leading retailer specialising in rowing clothing and accessories.
