Italian cycling title Alvento takes a people-centric approach to the sport by celebrating those who have ‘chosen bikes as a means of expressing themselves.’ As for the name? It’s Italian for ‘in the wind’.
Previously published exclusively in Italian, the magazine is now available in English, but its coverage remains firmly Italian, profiling cyclists, covering races, sharing two-wheeled journeys from around the world and translating features from the original Italian edition.
In this issue: Italian cyclist Elisa Longo Borghini ruminates on dissonance between her identity as a professional cyclist in the public eye and her relationship to herself in everyday life; retired cycling legend Miguel Indurain sits in conversation with Stefano Francescutti, delving into his career and staunch hatred of the cold; Francescutti reminisces on a bikepacking quest for the best beer in the best beer garden in the Black Forest gone awry; and join the team on their ride of route Flanders 525, a four-day trip documented in short diary like entries across various km intervals.
