A Word from Mark Wilson
As a writer for GearJunkie and BikeRumor, I get to combine my passion for the outdoors and experience in journalism to give readers the information they need to get the most out of their experience in the great outdoors. I met GearJunkie editor Seiji Iishi through the Austin climbing community and offered to jump in to help cover new product releases in 2021. Now, it’s my favorite pastime outside of actually being on the trail. My personal interests include Mountain Biking, Gravel Cycling, Bikepacking, XC Racing, Being a Dad, Bouldering, Sport Climbing.
