Issue 163
£7.45
It might not be the best climb in the world, but it’s probably in the top one: the Stelvio, and this month we’ve got an incredible Big Ride up this most iconic of passes, with incredible photography and stories to match. It could be a whole magazine in itself, but in Cyclist issue 163 there’s a whole lot more. Interviews with Fabian Cancellara on life after cycling (it’s still pretty cycling-centric), super-domestique Tim Declercq on a happy life of service, and British wunderkind Cat Ferguson on a career that looks set to take centre stage. We take a picture-gallery journey through the Classics so far, from the Tour of Flanders to Paris-Roubaix and beyond; we pedal up the Manghen Pass in the heart of Italy’s Dolomites; and hear tales from riders at Norway’s spectacular Bright Midnight endurance race.
All this plus our pick of the best spring kit – and how to style it, new bikes from Trek, BMC, 3T, Van Rysel and Ricky Feather, and a heap of new gear from Silca, Continental, Oakley and more. It’s another bumper issue to inspire your riding wherever you do it… though we can very much recommend the Stelvio.
