Hi.

I’m Ben Delaney.

I’ve been a cycling journalist since 2000, covering races and gear and people all over the world, from the Tour de France to World Championships. I've served as everything from editorial director and editor-in-chief to reporter and video anchor at a dozen outlets like VeloNews, Cyclingnews, BikeRadar, Outside, Cyclingtips, Cycling Weekly, Cyclist and others. I’ve been on TV as a cycling expert, from CNN to local news.

I worked in global marketing at Specialized for a hot minute. Remember ‘aero is everything’? Yeah, sorry about that.

I am now making my way solo on YouTube, testing bikes and gear, and interviewing people I find interesting. I travel to events to contextualize test bikes and gear. And also because events are a lot of fun!

I've tested hundreds of bikes, and recently I've enjoyed testing gravel bikes inside events like Unbound Gravel, Belgian Waffle Ride, and SBT GRVL. Sometimes I win the old-guy category.

Thanks for your support. I hope you enjoy The Ride!
