I’m Oscar Huckle and I’m currently the technical writer at BikeRadar – one of the world’s leading cycling websites. You’ll also find my work published in Cycling Plus and MBUK magazines.
I’ve been an avid cyclist since my teenage years, initially catching the road cycling bug and riding for Thames Velo, my local club. I was then indoctrinated into gravel riding and have more recently taken to the dark art of mountain biking. My favourite rides are epic road or gravel routes, and I love nothing more than getting away and exploring new areas while bikepacking. More recently, I’ve become fond of audaxes and ultra-distance gravel races. I completed both the Seven Serpents and Badlands in 2024 and Mother North and Across Andes in 2025.
I have a BA degree in English Literature and Film Studies from the University of East Anglia and I have over a decade of cycling industry experience, initially working in a variety of roles at Evans Cycles before joining Carbon Bike Repair.
I’m particularly fond of workshop tool exotica and a proponent of Campagnolo groupsets. I prefer lightweight road and gravel frames with simple tube shapes, rather than the latest trend for aerodynamics and full integration. I’m obsessed with keeping up to date with all the latest tech, fixated with the smallest details and known for my unique opinions.
I started The Cycling Meister in 2015 as a place to pen my thoughts on the latest cycling gear and some of my long-distance adventures. It was always my ambition to forge a career in cycling journalism and this website acted as a portfolio of my work. I now use this website for articles or reviews that don’t get commissioned elsewhere and as a home for my inner musings.
Outside of cycling, I’m an avid cinephile and enjoy travelling and music. If you’d like to keep up with my film exploits, head to The Film Meister.
