Cyclist Australia

Dedicated solely to the exhilaration of road cycling, Cyclist is the very first magazine of its kind. A celebration of the rides, the travel and the latest gear – we'll show you how to get the best from your ride every time.

Welcome • It has been cycling media overload since our last issue. A certain three-week race in July has kept everyone distracted from their work and up past their bedtime. Staying across the glut of Tour de France tech and race content is a full-time hobby, and the chat with friends, family and colleagues is boundless!
