Associate Editor & YouTube Host
Neil Beltchenko is a former record-holding ultra endurance racer turned slow-poke dad who now measures rides in snack breaks instead of KOMs. These days, he tests bikes, gear, and his patience, sharing insights and stories by way of videos on our YouTube channel.
Associate Editor
Nic is the newest editor on the team, publishing regular opinion, reviews, and more. With a penchant for winding dirt roads, coffee stops, and parallel top tubes all the same, Nic Morales’s background in philosophy, film, football (or soccer), seeks to inform a broader, more complete frame of cycling oriented reference.
Editor
Cass Gilbert publishes regular features and route guides on the site, and helps steer it in the right direction. In addition to his many written and photographic contributions to dozens of websites and magazines, he has bikepacked his way across the Americas and run a successful guiding business in the Indian Himalaya.
Editor
Joe Cruz lends his expedition cycling perspective to the site, contributing spectacular new routes and trail-tested gear reviews. When he’s not pedaling, Joe is a Professor of Philosophy and the Chair of the Cognitive Science Program at Williams College.
We’ve been fortunate enough to work with a wealth of talented writers and photographers over the years. Our Contributing Editors are a core group of individuals whose many routes, stories, and reviews have helped shape the site into what it is today.
