The Ride Journal

Did anyone else here pick up a copy of this? Issue 1 is sold out now. There's some excellent writing and photography in it, from all different types of cyclists, from olympic track racers to trick BMXers in New York. Very classy piece of work.

Deadly photos on the front page. Where are they based and did you order a copy off the site or what?

They're English, but they have contributors from different places. I ordered a copy directly from them, i.e. the site. For anyone that missed it, here's the links for the sample articles. Hopefully they'll put all of it online now that its sold out.

I received a copy in the post this morning. So far it's an excellent read. Each article is only a page long and it's basically about each persons love of their bike and cycling in general. One person talks about cycling at dawn how it's the best time to cycle another about commuting in all types of weather and how he loves it, even though everyone else thinks he's mad. Of what I've read so far if you were to give it to a non-cyclist they would probably go straight out and buy a bike with the passion these people have for bikes. I wouldn't call this a magazine, which is what I though it was, it's more like a book or I suppose a journal as it's called.

It's not cheap, it worked out to be 12.50 UK Pounds (Registered Post) but well worth it.
