Tyler Benedict is the Founder of Bikerumor, where he’s written about the latest bikes, components, and cycling technology for almost two decades. Prior to that, Tyler launched and built multiple sports nutrition brands and consumer goods companies, mostly as an excuse to travel and ride in new places.
Based in North Carolina, Tyler also loves Overlanding & Vanlife and is always on the lookout for the next vehicle upgrade, secret trail, and off-grid adventure.
