2021 saw something of a return to normality in my cycling life, and I was lucky enough to enjoy some superb riding this year.<\/p>\n

I finally got to use my new-ish tent in anger on a 10-day tour, I enjoyed some epic days out on my own<\/a> and with pals<\/a>, and I even squeezed in a splendid tour from Newport in South Wales right up to Bangor in the north with my partner.<\/p>\n

Though my work elsewhere on BikeRadar has meant reviewing has taken a back seat this year, I have still tested a range of great kit in a personal capacity.<\/p>\n

From an outrageously expensive saddle to the only dynamo kit I\u2019ll ever buy, these are my top cycling tech picks for our 2021 Gear of the Year series<\/a>.<\/p>\n
