If Ben Delaney’s name doesn’t ring a bell, chances are you know him anyway: He’s been producing some of the best gear and tech coverage in the bike industry for decades, so you’ve probably read some of his work. Formerly the editor in chief at VeloNews Magazine, and editor at BikeRadar, Ben Delaney has since branched off to create his own YouTube channel, “The Ride with Ben Delaney.” Same excellent coverage, new format.
Delaney joins host Dan Cavallari in the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride world headquarters (sometimes known as Dan’s kitchen) to have a sip or two of coffee…and inform Dan that he was right… about what? Check out the episode to find out! (Since I’m sooo humble, I certainly don’t want to belabor the point that I was very, very right.)
Delaney also gives us an update on what it’s like to go independent in today’s media environment. The struggles are real, but so are the opportunities. Often riding solo and armed only with a GoPro, Delaney has simultaneously won races and created content for his YouTube channel — an impressive feat and a template for up-and-coming journos to follow.
