Boneshaker Magazine
We'd heartily recommend you get your hands on a copy of the new Boneshaker magazine, started by the guys at the Bristol Bike Project. It's full of articles, stories and anecdotes about people doing great things with bikes. It will be available nationally soon, but in the meantime pick up your copy in Bristol from one of the following: the Arnolfini, the Here shop, Jake's Bikes, Shop (Christmas Steps), Howies, Bristol Bike Workshop and Bike. Happy reading!
