Liam Cahill
Road and gravel presenter
Liam Cahill is the road and gravel presenter for the BikeRadar YouTube channel. Liam has been racing road and cyclocross since his teens, and riding for as long as he can remember. With a national 24hr time trial champion for an uncle, there are racing genetics in his family. However, Liam has inherited none of them, boasting the South West’s largest collection of Cat 3 2nd place finishes. Before joining BikeRadar, Liam was a tech writer and presenter at road.cc, where he published hundreds of reviews. From budget bikes to the most expensive upgrades, he’s tested it all. When not presenting, you’ll find him contributing reviews to BikeRadar.com, nattering on the BikeRadar Podcast and listening to Taylor Swift whenever possible.
