GREENSBORO, N.C. (BRAIN) — Bikerumor.com has added Christophe Noel to its editorial team. He comes from five years as senior editor at the Overland Journal and Expedition Portal, where he covered the overland offroad, motorcycle, and bikepacking market for print and online. Noel has contributed to Singletracks, Bikepacking magazines and websites, among others.
"Cycling, and mountain biking in particular, is one of my biggest passions," says Noel. "I'm very excited to be coming back to that, and honored to be writing for such an industry and consumer go-to site like Bikerumor."
Noel will be contributing to BikeRumor's new AASQ (Ask A Stupid Question) and Suspension Tech series and writing the new Tire Tech series, which explores the design, construction and technical details that make bicycle tires work. He will also be contributing more off-the-bike and related news, including some adventure vehicle info.
"Even we want to see more than just bikes sometimes," said Bikerumor founder Tyler Benedict. "As we near our 10th birthday, we've undergone a complete website overhaul, and we're evolving what we write about to reach new readers. Christophe will be a key part of that, and I'm stoked to bring on someone with so much experience that can also introduce new ideas to our team."
Bikerumor's editorial team now consists of eight regular contributors in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
