Let the cycling begin!
A new cycling season and new writers at Pedalnorth!
As the cycling season begins with the spring classics, we’ve watched as Demi and Tadej pick up the early season honours at Strade Bianchi. We’ve been busy indoors, or wrapping ourselves in Klimatik clothing from Alé and venturing out into winter on the roads and trails. Yes, we’ve attempted to stay fit and healthy and focused, and the new cycling season is underway!
Robert and Nadia are firmly embedded, jointly at the helm here at Pedalnorth; and we have 4 new faces for 2025, who’ll be writing about a whole spectrum of cycling lifestyle and kit issues, as they each bring something special to our website. Pedalnorth is renowned for covering so many aspects of cycle sport and cycling lifestyle, and our new writers add to this, each having a focus on different areas, and each ensuring that we remain as one of the world’s best independent cycling lifestyle website.
