Arran Brown (born 24 March 1985 in Johannesburg) is a South African professional road cyclist, riding for Team Cycle Fit - RoadCover.[1] Brown started cycling at the age of 16 and joined his first professional team at the age of 20. In 2007 he won his first major race, the South African National U/23 Time Trial Championships. In the same year he also placed third in the South African National U/23 Road Race Championships. 2009 was another major year for Brown as he became South Africa's first "Triple Crown" winner, winning the Cape Argus Cycle Tour, the MTN Amashovashova Classic and the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge.[2]

Brown is the owner of South African cycling set-up company, AB Cycle Fit and is assisted by fellow professional cyclist Richard Baxter. On 18 November 2012, Brown and Baxter announced the formation of the Cycle Fit team.[3] The team will only be racing locally in South Africa in 2013, with the intention of winning the local races.[4]
