The fact that you've made it here shows that you love bikes and are looking for something different to the other magazines and journals out there. That's good because that's what The Ride Journal has been created to be. Born, as all good things are, out of a conversation over Mexican food and Pacifico beers, The Ride is an all-encompassing read that was started in 2008. The idea was to create a journal filled with personal stories. We know that most people who share our obsession with bikes don't want to be pigeon-holed as roadies, free riders, track racers, BMXers, XC riders or even commuters. They are just riders. So we wanted to create something for them, and also for us. Something that crosses both cycling and international borders. Bikes have changed people's lives in so many ways and we wanted to gather a small selection of these tales. We didn't want to give reviews or race reports, we wanted to get under the skin and expose the passion that flows through riders veins. Once the seed was sown we spread the word to people from all across the globe. Initially we wondered if it was just us who wanted to see such a journal; evidently we were wrong. From all kinds of riders we began to get favourable responses, people asking why this hasn't been done before and how they could join us? A snowball effect took place and what was planned to be 80 pages soon grew into the beautiful monster sized journal we have finally ended up with (we are now at almost 200 pages, and chose to have far less advertising than most other magazines). As well as the incredible writing we also wanted the magazine to be visually striking. We approached our favourite artists, illustrators and photographers and they have helped give The Ride Journal its stunning visual style. Our final decision was that we were not in this to make money, just to give something back to the world of cycling that we love. For this reason we decided not to pay ourselves, instead we donate all profits from the magazine to various charities. The Ride Journal This issue of The Ride Journal is in very good condition with only the bottom corners and top back corner a little rounded and worn. There are some very light dust marks on the back cover. This would make a novelty Christmas gift for bike enthusiasts.
