We Did It...

Times are changing. More people are riding bikes. Cities and towns are building bike lanes and paths. We have been riding bikes our whole lives, and more people join our ranks every day. We’re building a place for all of them, in print and on the web. A place to learn, share, be inspired, and explore.

Bicycle Times is about the joy of riding. It was fun when we were growing up, and now it’s even more fun, and practical too. There’s riding to be done every day. Commuting, exploring, touring, transporting, racing or just riding along. Whether riding in the city, or out in the middle of nowhere on a country road, the joy of riding is what keeps us going. This is all presented in an informative, friendly, unpretentious style. Bicycle Times will help you get started and carry you through your whole life. Join the ride. We're living in Bicycle Times.
