Cyclist was founded in the United Kingdom before expanding to Germany, Italy, and even Australia. The magazine is now available in a French edition. This high-end monthly treats road cycling as a cultural phenomenon as much as a sport, with a strong emphasis on photography and writing. Far from being a mere race report, Cyclist focuses on the roads, the people, and the bikes that define contemporary cycling.
Contents of Each Issue
The magazine combines in-depth features, technical articles, and interviews, maintaining a consistently high visual standard from one page to the next.

For which reader?
Cyclist is aimed at cyclists who love riding but also enjoy reading about cycling. Its readership extends beyond licensed racers to include fans of long rides, gear enthusiasts, and readers who appreciate the beauty of a well-crafted feature story. The magazine positions itself as a premium publication, featuring high-quality paper and carefully curated imagery.
What sets this publication apart is its perspective. Rather than focusing solely on results, it takes the time to tell a story and delve into technical details. A bike review becomes a reading experience, not just a fact sheet. This approach appeals to those who view cycling as an art of riding as much as a timed discipline.
The French edition preserves the magazine’s international spirit while also highlighting France’s roads and landscapes. Fans of two-wheeled adventure will also enjoy Gravel Magazine, which is dedicated to off-road trails. Subscribers gain a perspective that is both global and closely tied to their own playground.
