Kristian House

A hugely experienced rider, Kristian has represented Great Britain on both the road and track, winning races in the UK, Australia and on the Continent.

After a year spent in North America riding for the Navigators squad, Kristian returned to the UK with the Rapha Condor squad for 2008, wearing the King of the Mountains jersey at The Tour of Britain for three days.

House’s most successful season to date was 2006, winning three Premier Calendar events on his way to sealing the overall title, and taking victory in several overseas races including a stage of the Tour of Brittany and the overall of the FDB Insurance RAS in Ireland.

Describe yourself as a rider in one sentence:
Determined and focused, but always willing to help a teammate win a race.
Your best moment in cycling?
Easy. Winning the National Road Race.
Worst moment in cycling?
Probably being hit by a truck back in 2001 while training in the US.
Favourite race you've ridden?
Tour de Langkawi.
Who would play you in a movie of your life?
I'd like to think Colin Farrell. Probably end up being someone much less cool.
Cycling hopes for 2010?
A repeat of the Nationals. Not necessarily me, but someone in the team. Stage at the ToB.
Favourite Music Album?
At the moment, its 'Leftism' by Leftfield… not a new one, but ive rediscovered it.
Favourite Film?
I think most people know this already… hence my nickname. The Big Lebowski.
How do you relax?
In an ideal world, while sitting on a beach drinking a Coopers. In my world, movies, music, photography.
I am a cyclist because…?
I love riding my bike. I love the competition.
If I weren't a cyclist I'd be…?
Wishing i was one probably. Ha! I probably would have gone to Uni and ran Track and Cross Country… so maybe a runner. If not, I'd be working on a computer somewhere… hopefully with a bit of what was said in the relaxation question.
How would you like to be remembered?
Have I been forgotten?
An interesting fact people are unlikely to know about you:
I am a geek. I mean if im honest, yeah im a geek. Maybe I hide it well, but im not sure.
