OUR STORY AT –40–
Four decades in, our adventure continues
time machine that’s on the fritz. In the morning, I might post
something online to be read that day, then take a phone call to
map out a story that won’t be printed for 18 months, only to hang
up and work on a layout for the next issue, which features a cover
month that’s still 60 days away. You’re reading this column weeks
after our big birthday bash in Missoula, but I’m writing it a month
before we cut the cake.
I won’t be so bold as to make predictions about the event itself
(only that cofounder Greg Siple will charm everyone with fascinating anecdotes and
terrible puns), but I’ll look into the crystal ball at the future of bicycle travel.
As many writers much smarter than I have observed, travel is a vehicle for
empathy, and bicycle travel fosters that emotion better than any other mode of
transit I know of. It’s the reason otherwise stoic old-timers and wide-eyed college
kids on summer break have the same reaction to the big views and small kindnesses
along the way. And why we hear again and again that a big bicycle trip does nothing
so well as it revives a rider’s faith in humanity. That’s a valuable currency, one that
feels increasingly in short supply.
In our high-speed world of constant connectivity, bike travel is a rare chance to
hop in the slow lane and actually connect with a world that we’re usually hurtling
through. It’s a powerful idea — something that provides solid moorings long after the
adventure ends and stories that last a lifetime.
Those stories, of course, are where we come in. Though it has fallen by the wayside
in the digital era, there’s an old newspaper symbol, –30–, that marks the end of a
story. For Adventure Cycling,
Adventure Cyclist,
and bike travel at large, I propose a
new symbol in honor of our 40th year and the adventures that lie ahead: –40–, “To
be continued.”

CORRECTIONS:
•
We somehow dropped a crucial line in
July’s “The Wheel of Life” on page 16. The
sentence in the second-to-last paragraph
should read: “After dinner, those of us who
were still awake got word that Nicola (one
of two doctors on the trip) had diagnosed
Bruce with high-altitude cerebral edema
(HACE), a life-threatening condition that
requires returning to lower elevation
immediately.”

CURRENT ISSUE NOTES:
“In addition to the stunning
landscapes of Central Asia, the
beauty of our own national parks,
and the history of John Muir’s route
to Yosemite, what stands out in this
issue is the importance of proper bike
fit. From the women’s bike pioneer,
Georgena Terry, and devotee Natalie
Ramsland to Rivendell’s Grant
Peterson — who demanded Patrick
O’Grady’s pelvic bone height — it’s
clear that we’re not alone in thinking
it doesn’t matter what bike you’re
riding as long as you love riding it.”
