BQ 70 (Winter 2019)

Adventures in all their forms are the theme of the Winter 2019 Bicycle Quarterly. Lael Wilcox and Rugile Kaladyte tour Kyrgystan in preparation of the Silk Road Mountain Race. Three friends attempt a new route on the border between France and Italy. Two riders enter The Japanese Odyssey, a ride so challenging that few participants actually finish it. Even our bike test of the new Crust Canti Lightning Bolt turns into an adventure when a storm moves in as we traverse the Cascade Mountains.

We visit the J. P. Weigle’s mythical workshop in the woods of New England and show you the master at work. And Jan’s Firefly titanium all-road bike gets a make-over with SRAM’s Red drivetrain and hydraulic discs for a memorable trip to the Colorado Front Range.
