Who We Are

I’m an average guy who has always made a living out of writing, editing, and publishing. Back in 2010 I followed my passion and started writing a blog for people like me: Average Cyclists. This blog is about fun things average people can do on bikes, such as cycling along wonderful bike trails in Vancouver or Richmond or Montreal or Portland or Vancouver Island, or going on strenuous (but not insane) bicycle tours, or the many health benefits of becoming a bike commuter.

When I started cycling I was, frankly, clueless. I even famously managed to pump a tire DOWN while on a cycle tour, and had to be rescued by a bike store. (Maggie still chuckles every time that “incident” is mentioned.) But since then, thanks to constant cycling, lots of blogging and tons of research, I have learned a lot about cycling. Now, I can even write Bike Maintenance 101 posts, such as my very popular post about the easy way to clean a chain. But I remain – at best – average in terms of how fast I can ride, so I am still just an Average Joe Cyclist!

My wife Maggie has become even more hard core about cycling than I am. She also writes posts, under the name she chose: Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist. Here she is with one of our dogs, Billy.

What is Our Average Joe Cyclist Blog About?

  • Average Joe Cyclist will save you time – we do tons of research so that you don’t have to! Then we publish our research findings in in-depth posts that give you the knowledge to make the best cycling-related purchases for your needs.
  • Average Joe Cyclist’s free training plans will help you achieve the many health benefits of cycling, such as getting fit, preventing diseases, and losing weight (but only if you want to – as chubby cyclists ourselves, we welcome all shapes and sizes into our community!)
  • Average Joe Cyclist will inspire you with posts about fun things average people can do on bikes, such as cycling along fun bike trails.
  • Plus, Average Joe Cyclist will help and guide you if you want to become a bike commuter.

Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist

A few years ago Maggie caught the cycling bug from me, and soon she was also commuting by bike. Now she also writes posts, under the name she chose: Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist.

Maggie focuses on issues she believes are of special interest to women cyclists, such as the challenges of commuting on a bike and still looking great at the office. She is also thrilled by the fact that both of us have got healthier and lost weight from biking, and so she has written about losing weight by cycling. When she’s not riding a bike, Maggie draws on her years of business leadership experience to run a successful career coaching business, Executive Decisions. That’s Maggie with one of our dogs, Billy the Yorkie-poo (yes, really). We have even written about the challenges and fun of biking with our dogs.

Cycling and Kids

Even though I’m just an Average Joe who rides a bike, I do cycle to work almost every day (except when it snows), and I cycle whenever I get the chance, and I believe that cycling is one of the few ways for adults to reconnect with the sheer joy of being a child.

Maggie and I have five kids and three grandchildren between us! Part of our mission is to make sure that there are more safe places for children to cycle
Maggie and I have five kids and three grandchildren between us! Part of our mission is to make sure that there are more safe places for children to cycle

Speaking of children – Maggie and I have five kids and three grandchildren. That makes the topic of cycling for kids very important to us. We both think that teaching kids to bike is one of the best things parents can do – but we also know how precious our children are, so we are very strong advocates for safe cycling routes for people of all ages and abilities. We don’t think this is a utopian dream – we believe this is the way the world is going in the 21st century.

Product Reviews

Biking can be an expensive hobby (even though it is much cheaper to bike than to drive a car). We spend a lot of money on bikes and associated products, so we decided to start writing some bike reviews and product reviews. In these, we try to give an unbiased review from the point of view of ordinary cyclists who want value for money and quality products.

Electric Bikes

Because we are not that young any more, and because we have very difficult bike commutes, Maggie and I have both got very much into electric bikes, and now we also write a blog about electric bikes. We are excited about electric bikes because we believe they make cycling possible for everybody, and that’s a wonderful thing! Not only that, but by keeping people mobile as they age, electric bikes offer outstanding health benefits, plus the potential to lose weight in a healthy, safe way.

Deciding which electric bike is the best electric bike for YOU is difficult. I have written a book about how to choose the best electric bike for you. The book includes reviews of many of the best electric bikes on the market today. Click here to find out more about this book.

Safe Cycling Routes for All

Finally, Maggie and I have both become advocates for safe cycling infrastructure, as we have had more than a few close calls with cars.  (Maggie is still having physiotherapy after being hit by a truck.) We hope our blog will contribute to building a world in which average people who ride bikes can do so more safely, and have more fun doing it.

What Other People are Saying about Average Joe Cyclist

The Cycling Bug (out of the United Kingdom) lists our blog at no. 5 in a list of 10 Must Read Cycling Blogs, globally.

This is what the Cycling Bug says about my blog:

“5. Average Joe Cyclist

Average Joe Cyclist is into cycling in a big way. His posts range from tips on how to miraculously cure knee pain to the top honeymoon destinations for cyclists. His wife, Mrs Average Joe (of course…) even chimes in to bring a true beginners point of view to cycle commuting.”

My blog came in just ahead of Bike Snob NYC, which was ranked at no. 6!

The I Wear Spandex  Blog (out of the USA) lists my blog at no. 3 of “Six awesome, fantastic, and must-read cycling blogs.”

This is what Brian says:

“3) Average Joe’s Cycling Blog – Joe (yeah, just Joe)

“Joe lives in the Pacific Northwest, on the Canada side.  That is some of the most beautiful country that you will find, and it sounds like it’s great for cycling.  He writes some great content for the average recreational cyclist.  I enjoy his writing style and down to earth approach.  Joe is truly an “average Joe” cyclist.  Don’t mistake that fun name, he’s a big time cyclist with lots to share.

In the blog post here, his wife writes a story sharing her experiences as a new bike commuter.  She started commuting to work on her bike and wanted to share all that goes into being a new commuter.  She writes just as well as Joe and really captures all that goes into commuting.”

PowerMeter City named us one of the 50 Best Cycling Blogs, and made these very kind comments:

“Average Joe Cyclist is the awesome collab work of husband and wife Mr. and Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist. Per Mr. Average Joe Cyclist’s words: “I write a blog for people like me. People who love cycling but will probably never win any races, and who don’t necessarily look good in Lycra!” Such humble words given the astounding amount of work they’ve so wonderfully done for the site. This home blog features bike computers, cycling gear, bike tours and trails, as well as bike training and cycling tips. They also include information on cycling deals, reviews, e-bikes, fitness, a special segment for Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist, and giving back to the community with their cycling advocacy. It’s everything you look for in a cycling blog and much, much more!”
