Chipps Chippendale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chipps Chippendale (real name William Henry James Chippendale III) is a mountain biking journalist in the UK. After a stint as a bicycle messenger his journalistic career started in 1994 with UK magazine MTB Pro which he worked on for five years. He is the founding editor of Singletrack Magazine, a publication he created with Mark Alker and Shaun Murray in 2001.
He is generally credited with popularising singlespeed mountain biking in the UK[citation needed] - an idea he claims to have stolen from Bike magazine editor Mike Ferrentino - and is a collaborator in The Outcast, an underground singlespeed fanzine.
Chippendale enjoys being fawned over by members of his Singletrack online forum, with many of the middle-aged men using the forum offering to become his love slave, or provide him with an entry on Wikipedia.
