Wideopenmag issue 17 is ALIVE!

Ladies and gents, boys and girls – Wideopenmag issue 17 is live and online.

Escape, adventure, freedom

Whether it be a simple half an hour slope off down the local singletrack or a fully blown once-in-a-lifetimer, the bicycle is without doubt a conduit for travel, adventure and freedom.

It’s those three simple yet bottomless words that this issue of Wideopenmag is dedicated to -the ability to escape the everyday, to meet new people, to see new landscapes and to experience the world in a whole new way that only the bicycle can provide.

Alongside the usual product tests, news and updates we’ve escaped the day jobs for two ‘best trip ever’ adventures – meeting the people behind the Portes du Soleil and digging deeper than the Pleney and then taking a chance on a mysterious invite to explore the south coast of Portugal.

Whatever riding means to you I hope this issue reminds you that your bike will take you to some incredible places and that every time you leave the house there’s the opportunity for another ‘best trip ever’!

Thanks to everyone that made this issue happen in particular the lovely people at Riders Retreat and Ride Portugal.
