Tyler Benedict is the Founder of Bikerumor, where he’s written about the latest bikes, components, and cycling technology for almost two decades.

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.
