Indoor training week has arrived here at Cyclingnews. It's getting colder in the Northern Hemisphere, and if your thoughts are beginning to turn or have already turned, to warmer indoor riding, this week we are here to help.
The advantages of indoor training in winter hardly need listing, but if it's too wet or cold, your time is crunched, or you simply fancy a change. Riding indoors and using an indoor training platform can be a welcome change of pace, not to mention highly effective training; there's no freewheeling or braking for red lights indoors!
We will be publishing a wide range of pieces on indoor training this week, from in-depth explainers on indoor training tech to buying guides on the best smart trainers and indoor cycling accesories.
Tom joined the Cyclingnews team in late 2022 as a tech writer. Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn’t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it’s made of.
He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport's biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Alberto Contador. He's also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.
