A Word from Derek Mau
I have covered the automotive and cycling industries for more than a decade. Prior to GearJunkie, I was the managing editor for eBay Motors and the Good Guys Rod & Custom Association, former Western Region Editor for TFLcar.com, and contributing editor for MTBR.com and RoadBikeReview.
After a lifetime as a California native, I recently sought a simpler lifestyle and relocated to Idaho for access to unobstructed and raw outdoor adventures that didn’t entail long lines and crowds.
At home or abroad, I like tinkering with cars, traveling, seeking out the best of what each region has to offer, and spending quality time with close friends.
