What I Cover

I am a contributing writer for BikeRide.com. I enjoy reviewing new bikes and providing in-depth reports to help cyclists.

My Background

I started at BikeRide.com in 2024, and quickly found my place. As an avid cyclist, it’s my passion to talk bikes.

I started cycling in college. When my bike needed maintenance, I learned to wrench at our local bike co-op. After 20 years, the co-op is still flourishing, and I lead an open shop night, showing others how easy it is to be self-sustainable on a bicycle.

My bicycle obsession has grown since my first thrift store bike, and I now have more than I can count. My favorite disciplines are mountain biking and touring, but I also love my dirt jumper, tall bike, cruisers, gravel bike, and fixies. I accidentally got into motorcycles, too, and have to split my time between road cycling/street motorcycles and mountain biking/dirt biking. I’m always planning my next big adventure!

Journalistic Ethics

I approach all of my articles with the perspective of what I want to know as a reader. This means I present all the details, positive and negative, and have no bias toward any bike or brand.
