Olly Forster

Olly can trace his obsession with off-road cycling back to his childhood in the Borders, yet it wasn’t until he discovered Mountain Biking UK magazine that his obsession with bikes truly took root. He eventually found find himself as Staff Writer on his favourite mag. From print to digital and from Europe to North America, Olly’s 10-year stint in bicycle media has seen him represent a host of titles and in a range of roles, but he likes nothing more than geeking out over the latest tech. Today, Olly’s contributing to BikeRadar once again, tapping into his encyclopedic knowledge of all things off-road and occasionally radical. Away from his laptop, Olly would prefer to find himself in the woods, bouncing between rocks, roots and ruts getting into all manner of mischief on his trusty Transition Sentinel.
