Bill (bicyclebill)

Hi there! I love everything to do with bicycles. I'm a former bicycle mechanic and I love building, modifying, upgrading and of course riding!

I love writing articles that teach people how to do simple mechanical fixes and upgrades on their own bikes. I also enjoy reviewing new models, technologies and gear that make riding easier. If I can help people get rolling while still saving money, I'm a happy guy!

I'm not a 'one-trick pony', so I may decide to write on other subjects as well. In general, my interests are mostly in the cycling world, but I'm fascinated by most forms of exercise, sports and outdoor adventures (like hiking and camping), and new sports science stuff.

My sphere of knowledge also extends very slightly into gadgetry and I love writing on my favorite gizmos.

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to leave a comment or two!
