It’s almost 2025! A quarter century has passed since that big landmark, the year 2000. It’s a great moment to take stock of the revolutionary changes in cycling over those 25 years, and then have a look how things might develop in the future. Natsuko and I talked about the things that have shaped cycling in the last quarter century. Not small things like adding a few cogs to rear cassettes. We...

The last time I bought a new bicycle was 17 years ago. Long-time readers of Bicycle Quarterly might be familiar with my ‘Six Hands’ bike that served as the control/reference for numerous bike tests and has carried me over tens of thousands of miles through many unforgettable adventures. I didn’t buy a new bike because I’m tired of my Six Hands, or because it’s worn out. (It’s remarkable how...

When we were growing up, the year 2000 was short-hand for ‘the future.’ Now we’re a quarter century past that landmark. To celebrate that landmark, Natsuko and I compiled an (entirely subjective) list of a dozen innovations that have reshaped cycling during these last 25 years. These range from wide tires and disc brakes to GPS routing apps and Strava. We included the caveat that many of these...

Ahead of them is very little pavement and plenty of hike-a-bikes. Distances between resupply points are large. We took this opportunity to catch up with a few...

Amanda Naumann Sheek and Ted King will join the Gravel Hall of Fame in 2025. The selection committee couldn’t have made a better choice! Both Amanda and Ted not only have won the 200-mile Unbound twice (in addition to numerous other races), they’ve also been the face of gravel for years. Their podcasts—Amanda’s Groadio and Ted’s King of the Ride—have inspired many riders to add gravel to their...

When Rene Herse couldn’t find the bags he wanted for his bikes, he began offering his own, way back in the mid-1940s. As far as we know, he pioneered the forward-opening flap that allows accessing the bag’s contents while riding. Building on those 80 years of experience, as well as 1000s of miles of testing numerous prototypes, we’re introducing the Cyclotouring Handlebar Bag. This is what we...
