About Me

Hi, I’m Elizabeth Miller. Before I ever wrote about bikes, I fixed them.

I spent 9 working as a bike repair specialist, where I rebuilt hundreds of hub motors, specialized in e-bike conversions, handled everything from flat repairs to full drivetrain overhauls. If you’ve ever had a bike shop tell you something was wrong with your bike and wondered if they were just trying to upsell you — I was the person on the other side of that counter, and I know both the honest answers and the tricks.

I started Bike Adventurous in 2023 because I kept seeing the same problem: most buying guides online are written by people who’ve never actually turned a wrench. They repeat spec sheets without knowing what those specs mean for how a bike actually rides, breaks down, or holds up after a year of real use.

A little about the site itself: Bike Adventurous covers e-bikes, touring gear, maintenance, and buying advice for everyday riders — not racers, not influencers, just people trying to figure out which bike or part is actually worth their money.

Have a repair question, a bike you’re trying to decide on, or something you think I got wrong?
