Editorial Standards

Our readers rely on Bicycle Quarterly as a reliable, honest and in-depth source of information. We work with qualified contributors to ensure excellent quality of research and writing. To meet this expectation, Bicycle Quarterly has the following editorial standards:

- Bicycle and equipment tests: Unlike most magazines, we tell you how long we have used the bike or equipment tested (usually at least 200 miles/320 km). If possible, we use the same tires on all bikes to make them comparable. We also list potential conflicts of interest, such as whether the maker advertises in the magazine or is a personal friend of the tester. This allows our readers to evaluate our evaluations.

- Technical and historic articles are referenced properly, so readers can go to the sources of the information.

- Interviews include the date of the interview.

- Technical and historic articles are reviewed by one or several experts in the field before publication. This ensures that the articles represent the current state of knowledge and contain reliable information.

- Comments and corrections are welcome from anybody, and will be published in the next issue.

Above all, Bicycle Quarterly is a fun and passionate magazine about the sport we love. Our standards simply ensure that your copies of Bicycle Quarterly will remain a useful resource for many years to come.
