Cyclist Australia

Dedicated solely to the exhilaration of road cycling, Cyclist is the very first magazine of its kind. A celebration of the rides, the travel and the latest gear – we'll show you how to get the best from your ride every time.

Welcome • Notice anything different? You got it – Cyclist magazine has had a facelift. Not that we weren’t already among the most striking magazines to grace the newsstands, but when you get near to 70 (issues, not years), it doesn’t hurt to tear down the old wallpaper and give everything a fresh lick of paint.
