Richard Windsor is a freelance writer for The Week Digital. He began his journalism career by writing about politics and sport while studying at the University of Southampton. He then worked across various football publications before specialising in cycling for almost nine years, covering major races including the Tour de France and interviewing some of the sport’s top riders. He led Cycling Weekly’s digital platforms as editor for seven of those years, helping to transform the publication into the UK’s largest cycling website.
He left that role to go freelance in April 2022, but still covers cycling as part-time digital editor for independent magazine and website Rouleur. He also works as a writer and consultant helping brands with their content, specialising particularly in digital content strategy and optimisation.
