In this series, we're sharing the Covid-19 experiences of friends and contributors from around the world. Giovanni Calcagno won our photo contest two years ago with this photo, taken during his ride on the Via del Sale that criss-crosses the Italian-French border. Here is his experience during the Covid-19 lockdown...
In this series, we're sharing the Covid-19 experiences of friends and contributors from around the world. It seems that everybody in France (and beyond) knows Elisabeth as an incredible long-distance cyclist. I've ridden with her in the Concours de Machines, met her at Paris-Brest-Paris, and marveled at her adventures on...
The first Covid-19 case in the United States was detected near us here in Seattle in mid-January. Back then, we didn't imagine that this would turn into such a difficult situation. The entire world has been affected. As we've stayed in touch with our friends and Bicycle Quarterly contributors in...
Quite a few customers are asking why their orders aren't showing up in the tracking information on our web site, why they haven't received the Spring Bicycle Quarterly yet, and other shipping-related questions.

This post is to say 'Thank you!' It's no secret that times are difficult. The news are not encouraging. Businesses everywhere are struggling, and we're not exempt. We appreciate your orders at all times, but now they are doubly important. As we take turns working in our empty office and warehouse, we're...
In contradicting what we've been taught until now – that face masks are not useful – I fully expect this post to be controversial. But too much is at stake, so please read on with an open mind. The good news from Seattle is that our current lockdown seems to be...
Yesterday, Washington State finally issued an order for everybody to stay at home to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. It's something most of us wanted to see much sooner, and we've been acting for several weeks as if it had been in place already. Bicycle repair facilities and companies...
Many customers and readers have asked and worried about us. This post is to reassure everybody that we're doing fine at Rene Herse Cycles. For the time being, Seattle is relying on everybody's best efforts of social distancing and staying home, and there is no mandatory lockdown. Fortunately, people are...
