BQ is the best written bike mag. Everything in it is fact-checked and researched, yet it’s not technical per se. It’s cultural. But with its feet firmly planted on earth and in facts that you can rely on. If an aspect is uncertain, the writer and editor will tell you so. Then we can all move forward with observant eyes trying to detect reliable new information to replace the uncertain old. Such an approach truly places you even in a story of a tour. In short, it’s a clearly and precisely written and edited mag. A role model for such a mag, in fact.
Printed in black and white on glossy paper.
