Cyclist UK - May 2025 - Issue 162

I denne utgaven

You’ve made it… Spring is here! So pick up issue 162, get inspired and get riding.

This month, we head to northern France to see if it’s possible to take on the last 100km of Paris-Roubaix, neck a beer then get back to the UK in under 24 hours. Then just over the border we go for a ride with the Lion of Flanders himself, Johan Museeuw, who takes us around his most career-defining bergs and cobbles – and let’s just say the guy’s still got it on a bike, with the stories to match.

We sit down with Groupama-FDJ boss Marc Madiot to talk the philosophy of cycling, where his heart’s at, and nurturing young talent before seeing it fly the nest. Our Classic Climb takes us to a lesser-known Pyrenean gem, the Col du Portillon; we take a mega trip to Japan to see what makes this cycle-mad island so unique; we chat with ultra-athlete Juan Dual about competing with half his digestive system missing (really, the man is as incredible as he is inspiring). All that plus Felix Lowe on why hosting the Grand Départ is a poison chalice; the history of the Pinarello Dogma as told by Fausto Pinarello; why shorter cranks make you faster; plus a bumper section on the best road shoes, the Parlee Ouray, Basso SV and Haro Rivette bikes on test, and news about the all-road bike from every postie’s favourite British manufacturer, Pashley. She’s a beauty, just like issue 162.
