Tech of the month: A September retrospective

As those of us in the northern hemisphere drift inexorably into Autumn, or Fall if you prefer, we here at Cyclingnews have on the one hand been trying to wring out the very last of the summer riding, and on the other get geared up for a winter of foul weather testing so we can bring you some properly thorough buying advice.

What's gone on this month then, and what can you look forward to in the coming weeks? Well, the launch of the new Canyon Ultimate seems a long time ago now, but it was still September; having a first ride in the scorching mountains behind Nice seems a far cry away from the current downpours going on as I write this. The risk of heatstroke has certainly dropped, but drowning now feels like a legitimate possibility.

Tech Writer

Will joined the Cyclingnews team as a reviews writer in 2022, having previously written for Cyclist, BikeRadar and Advntr. There are very few types of cycling he's not dabbled in, and he has a particular affection for older bikes and long lasting components. Road riding was his first love, before graduating to racing CX in Yorkshire. He's been touring on a vintage tandem all the way through to fixed gear gravel riding and MTB too. When he's not out riding one of his many bikes he can usually be found in the garage tinkering with another of them, or getting obsessive about tyres. Also, as he doesn't use Zwift, he's our go-to guy for bad weather testing... bless him.
