Autumn 2011 Bicycle Quarterly

The Autumn issue of Bicycle Quarterly is at the printer. It will be mailed next week. On 72 pages, we cover a variety of topics, including:

• High-wheeler racing in New Zealand today.
• Test of the Calfee “Adventure” – a carbon fiber bicycle for the real world.
• Braking: We test how it’s done best, and compare a few interesting brakes (Sram Force, Eebrake, Velo-Orange Gran Cru).
• Many remember George Retseck’s illustrations from old Bridgestone catalogues. We talk to the man and show some rarely seen artwork.
• A daytrip across the Yorkshire Dales immerses you into the landscape, culture and history of this beautiful region.
• Our editor’s ultimate custom bicycle. How he designed it, and how it was built.
