Rouleur
Issue 106 - Empower
1Empower – this is the keyword we based this very special issue around.
That word imbues this edition of Rouleur, whether emblazoned on fetching green casquettes, or at the core of the articles. Voices often unheard in cycling circles fill the 160 pages – special and inspiring people, telling joyful and diverse stories.
The simple pleasure of riding a bike should not be constrained by race, gender, sexuality or disability, yet so often these are barriers into entering the sport we love. We shine a light on those making a change.
Make a direct contribution to the cause and buy one of our limited edition Empower casquettes.
