Chris Sidwells is a former policeman turned freelance writer. Based in the UK he's been writing about cycling for nine years, mostly for the UK's number one bike magazine, Cycling Weekly, but regularly contributes to others including The Roar. He's written nine books on cycling, from maintenance manuals to biographies, and despite being older than he thinks he is, he still turns out for the odd race now and again.
