A Word from Tyler

I wanted to create the type of cycling website I wanted to read, focused on the products, tech, and the brands who make them.

I launched Bikerumor in 2008 rather than find a “real job”, and built it into the world’s largest cycling tech blog.

My personal interests are road, gravel, mountain biking, travel, fitness, and entrepreneurship.
