Cyclist is the magazine dedicated to the thrill of road cycling; packed with the world’s best rides, must-have bikes and latest gear, helping you get the most from your ride every time. If you love cycling, then you'll love Cyclist – your one stop shop to everything road bike-related in one stunning magazine. In each issue you can enjoy: • The most exhilarating cycle routes and sportives in the world • In-depth road bike reviews alongside the latest kit and must-have apparel • Expert advice on components, training, nutrition and technology • The insider stories behind the biggest names and most influential people in cycling

As autumn fast approaches, issue 131 sees Cyclist’s crack team of testers take an in-depth look at the best autumn kit to keep you riding. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves, because it’s still summer (just) and what a summer it has been. We look back across the best pro-racing through the viewfinders of the world’s best photographers, plus we follow FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope as they take on the most historic event cycling has seen in years – the inaugural Tour de France Femmes.

Our profile this month is on Giuseppe Saronni, one Italy’s most decorated riders, while our Big Ride and Classic Climb also take a turn around the Italian block, with a hidden gravel route around the Dolomites’ craggiest peaks and leg-shredding investigation of the Classics’ hardest climb, the Muro di Sormano.

New bikes come thick and fast from Giant’s all-new Propel to Reilly’s beautiful titanium aero bike, plus there’s all the usual new kit from the likes of Zipp, Bell and CeramicSpeed.

It was arguably the biggest thing to happen to cycling in the modern era – the exposure of Lance Armstrong. So ten years on from the book that told all, we catch up with Armstrong’s former teammate and chief whistle-blower, Tyler Hamilton, in an exclusive interview. 

This year the Tour de France will kick off from Denmark, so issue 128 is also a perfect excuse for us to take a Big Ride in one of Denmark’s most beautiful spots, the island of Møn; and being as though it’s summer, it’s also a perfect time to bring you our summer kit picks, as chosen by <Cyclist>’s team of expert tester. Bikes come from Pinarello, which unveils it’s latest gravel bike, Specialized, whose Allez Sprint proves there’s life in aluminium yet, and Lapierre, whose latest pro bike is just a bit good. We also take a trip to Snowdonia, but frankly we’ve told you enough already. The best way to get into issue 128 is to go and read it now!   

4,700m climbing in 157km? Yes, that’ll be this month’s Big Ride, a huge undertaking in the mountains of the western Pyrenees, where one rider’s unchartered territory is another’s brutally steep tranquillity. It’s a similar story in our Classic Climb, a leg-shredding route up the Col de Petit-Saint-Bernard, and our exhausting-just-reading-about-it look into the outfit behind the Belgium’s biggest races, Flanders Classics. 

We take a deep-dive look at whether Cavendish will end up going to the Tour this year, faced with stiff opposition from teammate Fabio Jakobsen, while Ineos Grenadiers’ sports director, ex-pro and breakaway specialist Steve Cummings, gives us a behind the scenes insight into running one of the world’s biggest cycling teams. Test bikes come thick and fast from Cannondale Synapse, Condor’s stainless-steel wunderkind and an Italian full-blood Officine Mattio, and resident writer Emma Cole gives us the skinny on our Lyrca-tight clothing’s eco-credentials as she looks at the sustainability of cycling kit. 

He’s got the rainbow stripes, he’s got the diamond grin, he’s the definition of panache. He’s Julian Alaphilippe, and this month we sat down for an exclusive interview with the peloton’s great entertainer to talk lighting up races and not being able to sit still in school. Continuing in the pro vein, Richard Moore takes a look at the Women’s WorldTour, and we find out what it takes to start a professional team.  

Our Big Ride takes on the beautiful island of Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea, while our Classic Climb profiles one of Flanders’ most storied bergs, the Kemmelberg, whose history reaches far beyond cycling, and our UK ride traverses the gravel tracks and swooping roads of Northumberland and the Pennines.  

Bikes tests come in the shape of Pearson, Vitus and Tifosi, plus we get the skinny on Cannondale’s all new Synapse.

Roll up, roll up, Cyclist issue 124 has landed, and it’s a beaut. This month’s Big Ride takes on Italy’s cycling heartland, the Dolomites, a place as steep as it is stunning. We have an exclusive interview with Transcontinental Race’s first female winner, Fiona Kolbinger, while France’s favourite WorldTour son, Romain Bardet, tells us just what he thinks about bike racing, British pubs and Beaujolais plonk. Richard Moore takes a studied look at the careers of Mark Cavendish, Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome and asks ‘What next?’, while our in-house testers bring you one of the world’s most expensive road bikes, one of the world’s most under-sung road bikes and one of the world’s most exciting gravel groupsets. Plus, see what the future of gearing might have to say about 2x shifting – is the front mech dead?
