‘Cycling culture’
Independent road cycling staple Rouleur totes itself as ‘the finest cycling journal in the world’. The name? Rouleur [roo-ler] ‘a rider with strength and style who goes hard on all terrain’.
Rouleur’s refractive 139th issue is dedicated to shiny cycling technology and emerging bike-riding talent. Split into three sections, ‘Départ’ commences with a crispy rice bar recipe—necessary and tasty fuel for professional cyclists—whilst Belgian champion Tim Wellens shares his favourite carbs to consume on the go. In section two, ‘Échapée’, you’ll find a profile on Van Rysel, an innovative cycling brand changing the game with its collaboration with aerospace company ONERA, plus, an insight into Posedla Varnsdorf’s ‘Smiling Butt Kits’, examining the production of ‘the world’s first full custom 3D-printed saddle’. Rounding off the issue, in ‘Arrivée’ cycling influencer Deby Brunold takes readers along for ‘the perfect ride’ around her local Swiss mountains.
