Oscar Huckle is the production assistant on MBUK and Cycling Plus magazines. Having previously worked as a technical writer at BikeRadar, he remains a regular contributor to the site. Oscar has been an avid cyclist since his teenage years, initially catching the road cycling bug and riding for a local club. He’s since been indoctrinated into gravel riding and the dark art of mountain biking. His favourite rides are epic road or gravel routes, and he loves nothing more than getting away and exploring new areas while bikepacking. More recently, Oscar has been getting into ultra-endurance racing, completing both Seven Serpents and Badlands in 2024 and Mother North in 2025. Oscar has a BA degree in English Literature and Film Studies and has over a decade of cycling industry experience, initially working in a variety of roles at Evans Cycles before joining Carbon Bike Repair. He is particularly fond of workshop tool exotica and is a proponent of Campagnolo groupsets. Oscar prefers lightweight road and gravel frames with simple tube shapes, rather than the latest trend for aerodynamics and full integration. He is obsessed with keeping up to date with all the latest tech, is fixated with the smallest details and is known for his unique opinions.
