RoadCyclingUK.com has a new editor in the svelte shape of Richard Hallett. Formerly technical editor of Cycling Weekly and Cycle Sport magazines, Richard is a typical ‘lifelong cyclist’, cycling club member and obsessive about all things related to pedal sport, but with an inclination towards the thin tyred variety.

A keen competitor over several decades, his cycling currently centres on time trialling, cyclo sportives and pannier-toting touring after a former life spent riding endless laps of Herne Hill track and the Crystal Palace crit circuit in between riding, you guessed it, time trials.

A devout believer in the real benefits of today’s cycling technology, he firmly believes that road (and track) cyclists have never had it so good. ‘Having a resource such as RoadCyclingUK.com just a click away is a great way of keep up with the fast-moving world of serious cycling,’ he said. He intends to make the site a must-visit for every cyclist who wants to maximise their riding enjoyment; that means coverage of technology, rides, training and everything else fit to put on RoadCyclingUK.com.
