Title: 5th issue of _Bicycle Traveler Magazine_ available
Post by: Danneaux on June 19, 2013, 06:06:42 PM

Hi All,

Grace Johnson has just released the *fifth* issue of Bicycle Traveler Magazine. She and her photographer husband/touring partner, Paul Jeurissen, have been traveling the globe for some time now, and are well known in The Netherlands for their photo-essays: http://www.bicyclingaroundtheworld.nl/home.html Grace is now often recognized as "The Woman in Red" for her distinctive red jersey, often appearing in Paul's distance shots: www.adventurecycling.org/resources/200909_WomanInRed_Jeurisse.pdf  

This fifth issue of her magazine is available here in PDF form:
http://bicycletraveler.bicyclingaroundtheworld.nl/current-issue.html

Subscriptions are free for registering, and it is scheduled for thrice-yearly publication/download.  I think she's done a fantastic job, and I am inspired by her efforts to solicit articles and coordinate and publish while on the road herself. I have posted about this in the past and thought members might find this newest issue equally enjoyable.

For those interested in a bit of background on Grace and Paul, here is their blog: http://www.bicyclingaroundtheworld.com

Another wonderful effort, as always. This issue includes...

• Danny and Ben Wood's 4,000km tour following the route of Hannibal, subject of a BBC documentary.
• Test of the Hilleberg Nallo GT3 tent.
• Images from the road: Oman and India by Paul Jeurissen.
• A roundup survey of trip gear.
• Marriage culture in Baluchistan.
• Why do we tour?
• Reader photo contest winners.
• Touring Norway to South Africa on a pedelec.
• More images from the road.
• Those frustrating days that can happen on tour.

A bit of entertainment and information here, and a nice way to spend a bit of time while conjuring your own plans for that Someday or Next tour.

Best,

Dan.
