Living with Type 1 Diabetes: Sunny Cyclist Richard Bibby on Positivity, Fitness & Real Talk

This week on We Are T1D, Mike and Jack sit down with the ever-positive Richard Bibby — better known on Instagram as @sunny_cyclist. Richard’s story is full of real talk, big laughs, and proper relatable moments.

We chat about:

🚴‍♂️ How being diagnosed with Type 1 as an adult flipped his world upside down — and how he’s managed to find his balance again
🎮 Why a new Xbox might just be the ultimate mental health tool
🍽️ The legendary free-course roast dinner that had us all drooling (and his deep love for Italian food)
💪 The ups and downs of weight loss, strength training, and how fitness can help with blood sugar control
👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 The power of the T1D community, and why sharing your story really does make a difference

Richard brings humour, honesty, and a ton of positive energy to this episode — reminding us that life with Type 1 can be tough, but it’s also full of moments worth celebrating. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or 20 years deep, this one will hit home.
