How cycling-review.net started ?
I started riding road bikes about 30 years ago in 1990, on an old blue steel Motobecane road bike of my dad with a simplex drivetrain. This is where the passion for cycling started in the hilly Zuid Limburg province of the Netherlands, the area of the Amstel Gold Race.
- My first mountain bike was a Giant Terrago, after which the GT Zaskar LE was my single-track shredder of choice;
- After Giant Bicycles launched the Total Compact Road in 1997 this became my road bike model of choice;
- Around 1999 I joined Tourclub Kerkrade and are an active member until 2023;

Therefore it made sense to have a dedicated domain and website where the cycling related product reviews could land. And with a domain registration the new cycling-review.net WordPress project was born.
I try to combine my professional background -mechanical engineering and business administration- with my hobbies -photography and cycling-. The focus is to provide high quality technical reviews of cycling related products and services, distributed over the categories below:
Hopefully the site tagline is explained now: “Quality information about cycling products from a mechanical engineer on a bike“
About the logo design of Noelle Benders

In all its simplicity it is brilliantly done. Above the characters CYC you can see a hex-key. A set of hex-keys/allen keys is the must have tool for everyone owning a bike. However if you use your imagination a little bit you can also see a cyclist on a bike in it. And this combination of tool, symbolism and simplicity make it a well done logo design that I’m super happy about.
