About Bikes.org.uk
The Bikes.org.uk website has gone through several incarnations but is now a dedicated cycling blog, written from a personal perspective by Mark Taylor and his team of cycling enthusiasts.
Like many cyclists, Mark has been riding bikes since he was very young and despite now being just a little older, the passion and fun hasn’t waned. Starting with touring bikes, cycling throughout the UK, including Lands End to John O’ Groats (yes, uphill!) and then onto mountain bikes in the hills of North Wales, plus cycle paths in Wirral, Merseyside and Cheshire. More recently the move into road cycling includes regular charity bike rides and quite a large number of sportives across Wirral, Merseyside and Cheshire on my road bike.
The Bikes.org.uk website is owned and operated by a private individual, details of which are available from Nominet. Full details of the Terms & Conditions of use of this website, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, can be found on the Notices page.
Guest Posts on Cycling, Sportives, Product Reviews, Nutrition & Fitness
Guest posts must always be written solely for the Bikes.org.uk website and must not have been previously published, online, digitally or in print. Articles must be cycling related or of interest to our readers, which may, for example, be other active sports like skiing, boarding, hiking & water sports or health, nutrition & fitness related. Cycling related topics include things like bike reviews, cycle clothing review, cycling equipment reviews, cycling news & events, road safety issues or campaigns, and many other topics like these.
We are happy to publish articles from contributing authors on subjects that we believe our readers would be interested in, such as healthy living, foods, nutrition and fitness but we will not publish an article of low quality, on generic topics or ones that are off topic.
