Where to find great cycling writers
Hi forum,
I am looking for suggestions on where to find great writers on cycling-related topics. Essentially, I am looking for a passionate bike lover, knowledgeable about everything bike-related and fun to work with. I tired some freelancing platforms, but could not find someone with vast cycling background and knowledge. Any advice?
Thanks in advance and any help would be appreciated,
Borys

Frank Berto was good, I thought.
Keith Bontrager wrote good rants.
Oh, and Grant Peterson

This is the best - albeit only - novel about bike racing that I’ve read. It’s damn good.

You can find “Great Cycling Writers” in the section next to “Top 10 Inuit Astronauts.”
Though I have read a lot of books written by cyclists and about cycling, and have been entertained or informed by them, there are none which I would consider “great.” I used to love the stories in Bicycling Magazine in the days before it became a hundred pages of ads with a few pages of weeboo-written articles with less substance than the ads.
