Richard Peace
Richard Peace took to full-time outdoor writing/photojournalism after stints in an office and as an English teacher abroad. His cycling route guidebooks include the best-selling Ultimate C2C Guide and the Ultimate UK Cycle Route Planner. He has written for various media about many aspects of cycling. His biking experience led him into the world of e-bikes and other forms of light electric transport and even to the publication of a book on e-bikes. He has probably reviewed more light electric vehicles than anyone else in the UK over the past three decades, covering both the specialist bike media, the wider world of consumer-facing media and trade journalism, including writing features for the show magazine of the biggest bike show in Europe, Eurobike.
