Issue #8 of Urban Velo brings forth a few changes to our print product. Along with the color covers, perfect binding and improved printing all around we’ve finally heard enough requests to make international subscriptions available. Now cyclists worldwide can receive a print copy of Urban Velo in the mail, no longer reserved only for USA residents.

Of course, free downloadable PDF copies of the magazine will still be available as each issue is released. Look for Urban Velo #8 on July 1st.

This issue brings you some great writing and photography that’s absolutely off the chain. Here’s some links to the talented people who made it possible (in order of appearance).

Issue 7 is now available, formatted for the web, as a PDF or in print.

This issue marks the start of our second year, and we’ve pulled out all the stops. Highlights include articles on fixed gear freestyle, city-to-city bike touring and one rider’s journey from messenger to competitive road racer. Our gallery takes a look at life through the talented lens of Ezra Caldwell, our editor dishes the dirt on stem and seatpost insertion and how to make your own DIY wheel-truing stand.
