22.01.2022 Have a noble steed that has served you well, but needs to be put out to pasture? No need to send it to the glue factory! Read our hot tips on selling your old(er) bike! Plus, we have a candid chat with a leading sports medicine physician on how to ensure a speedy recovery from ankle injuries! Don't let a small injury end your season. In all good magazine stands now!

21.01.2022 There's a special Bond between a rider and their bike, and in this issue we explore the dangers that this can pose. We interview three dedicated individuals who have formed a legal civil union with their bicycle. There are still only a few countries where this is legal, and some conservative groups fear that this is a sign that society is freewheeling down a slippery slope that could lead to relationships with tricycles. However, advocates for the movement say that if you lik...e it, you should put a chain ring on it. Plus, are you riding a girls bike? If not, why not!? We test seven industry leading female-specific mountain bikes and rate them against KPI such as speed, price point, and emasculation - with surprising results! The editorial staff at Velocipede Monthly predict that 83% of serious riders will have one of these bikes in their quiver by the end of the year! The magazine is monthly. Velocipede Monthly.

19.01.2022 One from the archives - the spirit of enduro is needed more than ever in times of deep distress (such as Mondays)

18.01.2022 Oh how we do like to be beside the XC-side! This issue we explore seven exquisite beach destinations that you can access with your dandy-horse (if you're not afraid to ride "off road"). The new fad of "Cross Country" riding, which involves venturing beyond the road network, allows the adventurous rider to discover amazing locales previously reserved for the supremely foolhardy, or the escaped convict. Do you, the avid rider, have trouble maintaining the interest of your femal...e companions when discussing tall tales of cycling prowess? We talk to some of the cycling profession's most witty raconteurs, with razor-sharp insight into how to keep the gentler sex enraptured in tales of your quarter mile speed, or the correct procedure for re-waxing a chain. We all have that 'pal' whose uncle-twice-removed knows Henry Ford, and has managed to finagle their very own automobile. That selfsame pal who has endless tales of how fast and furious it is - when it's working. Why settle for a loud, unreliable monstrosity when you can learn to fix a bicycle with ease? We explore the burgeoning world that the youngsters are terming "clickbait" with a Top-Ten-Listicle of bicycle maintenance tips. One sale now at all reputable (and hypothetical) retailers. With thanks to LINC Tasmania for the cover photo in this month's issue, ref TAHO: NS5006/1/59

16.01.2022 This weekend hails the return of The Meehan Monster , Hobart's fabled leg gobbler. You've spent the last year fattening your calves, and we have the absolute best recipes to flavour your crural creations. We have even called on the expertise of Pete Evans to craft a femur bone broth to lure even the most palaeolithic monsters out of their caves. Plus, in between leg-crunching encounters with the monster, it is imperative that you give the appearance that your legs are not act...ually dead. We have collated some premium tips to give your legs the illusion of life! As luck would have it, Pete Evans' science adviser also happens to be a tribal shaman, and shared some of her secrets of reanimation.

No doubt about it, this place is rad! ----------------------------------- And finally, the new Russian wheel building company that is bringing cycling to the people. With their promise of "peace, bread, and land for building trails", they promise to revolutionise the Russian cycling scene.

06.01.2022 Do you now have so many children that transporting them all to the coal mine for a good day's work is eating into your morning leisure time? If you're anything like us here at Velocipede Monthly then you'll be extremely interested to read our feature on family commuting bikes.

We talk to an expert who calls for a return to the "good old days" when men were men, and all sported horrible disfigurements resulting from being transported at high speeds with no consideration for safety. Also, in our ongoing series on the growing trend towards the complete mollycoddling of the modern rider, we bring the long-awaited feature article: "Helmets: Do We Need Them? A Study In Survivorship Bias". In a groundbreaking study involving people who have made it to adulthood without sustaining serious head injuries while riding, a panel of armchair experts concludes that although they never wore helmets, they turned out just fine. And for those riders eagerly awaiting the upcoming Meehan MTB park, we have the inside scoop on how to win the "Golden Ticket" - a lifetime pass to the trails.
