BIKE Magazine August 2025 Edição anterior

Dear Readers,
As the summer sun stretches across Europe, we bring you an issue packed with adventure, innovation, and inspiration, designed to fuel your passion for cycling wherever your wheels may take you.
This month, we journey through the Southern Alps, where Club Med Serre Chevalier has reinvented itself as a year-round haven for cyclists. With guided rides, luxury amenities, and breathtaking scenery, it’s a destination that blends challenge with comfort. Whether you’re climbing the legendary Galibier or relaxing in alpine spas, Serre Chevalier proves that mountain magic isn’t just for winter.
We also follow Peter Johnson’s evocative ride from Quebec to Halifax in Nova Scotia, a tale of friendship, resilience, and rain-soaked roads. From historic villages to liquorice-fuelled rituals, it’s a story that reminds us why we ride, not just for the destination, but for the memories made along the way.
For those seeking new horizons, our feature on Eastern Poland offers a fresh perspective on bike touring. Quiet roads, warm hospitality, and the stunning Green Velo route make this region a hidden gem for cyclists. From Bialystok to Krakow, the journey is rich with culture, cuisine, and unexpected beauty.
We spotlight five top cycling destinations for 2025, from South Africa’s Garden Route to the Andean lakes of Chile and Argentina. Whether you’re craving coastal breezes or mountain climbs, these curated adventures promise unforgettable experiences.
Innovation takes centre stage with Pashley’s Roadfinder SL, a British-built steel speed machine that marries tradition with cutting-edge design. Handmade in the UK and built for performance, it’s a celebration of craftsmanship and speed. Meanwhile, Restrap’s modular Switch System redefines bikepacking with gear that’s as adaptable as your ride.
