Email Your Guide
Like all the guides at About.com, I'm a real person. I enjoy helping people with bicycling and will be happy to help you. I do get a decent amount of email, but try to reply promptly to every inquiry I receive.
I want to provide you with the best environment and resources for you to enjoy the experience of bicycling. So I ask for your comments and suggestions about how I might better serve you as the bicycling guide.
You can email me anytime at bicycling.guide@about.com.
Post to the Forum
The Bicycling Forum has a number of active discussions going, and I check it regularly. Please feel free to post your questions or comments there. The Bicycling Forum is a great way to get input and advice from a variety of people.
F.A.Q.
- Q. What kind of bike should I buy?A. It depends. If you're just getting started with cycling, figuring out what kind of bike is right for you is the best place to begin. Or, our section on gear and accessories has a number of general product reviews that can give you more specific feedback on items your Guide has tested.
- Q. Can I contribute a review of my own bike?A. Yes! We have a special section on the forum for user reviews. It is especially helpful when you post about your experience with a particular product. We only get to test the bikes for a few days at a time; you know what it's really like to live with it long-term.
- Q. Can I request that a specific bicycle or bike accessory be reviewed?A. Sure. Send me an email with the words "Review Request" and the name of the bicycle or bike product in the subject line. I try to arrange our reviews a few weeks in advance; if the item you want to read about is available to us, I'll do what I can. You can also ask for opinions in the About Bicycling Forum.
- Q. How do you get bikes and bike gear and accessories for review?A. Cycling companies are usually eager for members of the press to evaluate their products. Either we request the item from them, or they contact us and ask us to review a specific model. They also put on launch programs to introduce new bikes or bike equipment.
