Lesli Cohen

Editrix with red pencil in one hand, whip in the other. Lesli is Editor in Chief of Cyclismas, where she wrangles the merry band of misfits who make up the talent of this satire and commentary website. She has been the cycling reporter for the Boston Examiner, and spends her spare time cycling the backroads of New England, attempting to be a mediocre Cat 4 bike racer, covering the local road racing and cyclocross scene, and supporting bike culture and urban cycling advocacy. Her writing has been featured in various special-interest publications and websites, and she has been interviewed on several cycling-oriented talk shows. Bicycling Magazine named her one of its Cycling Twitterati. You have been warned. You can follow her on Twitter @lesknits
