Larisa Chinces: Writer & Athlete
Larisa Chinces is a Romanian cyclist and performance athlete, from the medieval city of Sibiu in Transylvania. She is also a Masters graduate in Sports Education, with several years of experience working with world-leading brands.
In her blogs for Pedalnorth, between 2016 and 2023, Larisa used her knowledge and experience to write about her cycling life, on both road and mountain bike, reviews, lifestyle articles, routes, favourite places and cycling thoughts. We have maintained a key selection her blogs, due to their continued relevance and content. In the main, the blogs below relate to kit reviews that Larisa carried out for leading brands, and her suggested road and mountain bike routes in and around Transyvania. As a cycling lifestyle writer, Larisa helped Pedalnorth to become one of the world’s leading cycling lifestyle websites. She still works within the cycling industry, in Romania, and participates in cycling racing on road, gravel and mountain bike.
Cycling in Transylvania
Don’t forget too, the awesome road and mountain bike routes all across Transylvania, exploring the superb routes in the beautiful countryside and Carpathian mountains group; roads like the Transfagarasan Highway, described by some as ‘the best road in the world’.
