WELCOME TO THE SITE

In The Know Cycling is a place to help cycling enthusiasts decide what gear to get next and where to get it.

I’m Steve and I’m dedicated to saving you time and money while improving your cycling performance and experience by helping you make the right gear choices.

To put you in the know, I share comprehensive and comparative reviews of cycling gear and kit free of ads, paywalls, and industry influence and created by my team of fellow enthusiasts.

I buy or demo and return or donate the gear we test. When we receive kit that I don’t buy or can’t return or donate, like apparel, I will make a donation for its value to a cycling non-profit organization.

The In The Know Cycling app for Apple and Android gives you a simple way to find better, easier, less expensive gear and kit when using your phone.
