The Thousands

It’s true. Life as a cyclist changes you. I’m not going to get all preach-y about being a better person but as a socially aware cyclist – nay, philanthropist – myself, I can tell you we’re healthier, fitter, smarter and way more coordinated than the rest of you. Not to mention the fact we’re reducing our own carbon emissions and saving the f**king planet!

The writers at Boneshaker Magazine are cyclists too and they’ve got their own publication to prove it. It covers everything from the history of bike polo to the CMWC (that’s Cycle Messenger World Championships for the plebs), plus a moving account by a writer who didn’t change his bike tyre when he should have. There are breathtaking photos from a cycling trip through Central Asia, as well as the shock revelation by Gambian freestyle riders that they like their bikes more than football. And if that doesn’t make you want to jump the next saddle and ride it, then you don’t have a soul.
