Biography

Pettinger was born in Runnymede, Surrey, but spent most of his time growing up in Menston, West Yorkshire. When he was young he did some cycling and cross-country running. He started cycling aged 14, riding for Otley CC. He went to Bradford Grammar School and then Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford where he read PPE.

He has been a student of the spiritual master Sri Chinmoy since 1999. He adopted the name Tejvan from Sri Chinmoy (a Sanskrit word representing dynamism, enthusiasm and self-giving).[2][3]

Pettinger was a member of the Oxford University CC during the late 1990s.[1][4][5] After an illness he started running, but then injured his knee. In 2003, he resumed cycling, starting racing in 2004.[6]
