As another year barrels towards its endpoint I've decided to do away with Tech of the Month, mostly because the only cool tech I've received in the post in December so far has been an absolutely fantastic, but not overly technical, blue cap from Ouseburn Bike Works. It simply says "bikes" on it, so all my friends know just how one-dimensional I am. 

Instead of the usual monthly recap of content, and a slew of goodies from the postbox, I'm going to take you on a chronological journey through the top stories of the year; what you've been talking about, and what we've been talking about most in the office too.

Will joined the Cyclingnews team as a reviews writer in 2022, having previously written for Cyclist, BikeRadar and Advntr. He’s tried his hand at most cycling disciplines, from the standard mix of road, gravel, and mountain bike, to the more unusual like bike polo and tracklocross. He’s made his own bike frames, covered tech news from the biggest races on the planet, and published countless premium galleries thanks to his excellent photographic eye. Also, given he doesn’t ever ride indoors he’s become a real expert on foul-weather riding gear. His collection of bikes is a real smorgasbord, with everything from vintage-style steel tourers through to superlight flat bar hill climb machines.
