About Over the Top Cycling

What we cover

Over the Top Cycling is an independent cycling blog covering road cycling, mountain biking, cycling gear, bike maintenance, training, fitness, and endurance sports. We also share cycling news.

Our practical how-to guides and beginner-friendly tutorials explain riding skills and maintenance step by step. Equipment buying guides and product comparisons help you narrow your choices. They explain features, benefits, limitations, ideal users, and alternatives in plain language.

Who it is for

We write mainly for US-based cyclists, from beginners to experienced riders. That includes road cyclists, mountain bikers, recreational riders, commuters, triathletes, and endurance enthusiasts. International readers who speak English are welcome too.

Our aim is to give you clear answers, reliable advice, and honest gear guidance without unnecessary jargon. Free guides are available to anyone. Prices are in US dollars and distances are in miles, with metric equivalents where they help. Cycling laws vary by location, so check the rules where you ride.

How the site is supported

The site runs display advertising and includes affiliate links to cycling equipment retailers and brands. We do not manufacture or sell bicycles or equipment ourselves. We aim to disclose affiliate relationships clearly. Our recommendations are meant to focus on your needs, value, safety, and suitability rather than on commissions.
