This week is 'Get Ready For Your Best 2023' week here at Cyclingnews. Cycling is a multi-faceted hobby and sport, and the draw for some riders naturally varies. For some, it's the competition that arises from racing, whilst others prefer exploring solo and seeing the world by bike. That's to say nothing of just enjoying a sunny social ride to a café with friends. No matter what your preferred discipline or type of riding is, cycling brings a great deal of joy to millions of cyclists daily. 

The term 'Get Ready For Your Best 2023' can and will mean a different thing to all of us. You may want to bag that Cat 1 licence this year, ride your first century or perhaps ride in a different country for the first time. 

Tom Wieckowski
Tech writer

Tom joined the Cyclingnews team in late 2022 as a tech writer. Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn’t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it’s made of. 

He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport's biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Alberto Contador. He's also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.
