Our Story
We launched Bike Rater in 2024, fed up with the same old, boring bike reviews. We craved data-driven analysis, unbiased comparisons, and genuine insights, so we built a platform that delivers just that. Our team of data enthusiasts and cycling experts is passionate about helping you find the perfect two-wheeled companion.
Who We Are
Andy
My name is Andy and I am passionate about cycling! Growing up in a bike-crazy family, I learned to love life on two wheels by spending my weeknights competing in track, road, and TT events, with my weekends dedicated to heading out into the hills with my father and brother. I was probably the only 13-year-old that owned 4 different bikes!
I started Bike Rater as I have found other bike review sites can often be biased toward bigger brands, especially when they are sponsored to review their bikes. I want you to feel informed when choosing your next bike, knowing that you have made the right choice for your circumstances.
Our Responsibility
