Bicycle Quarterly offers a quality in content and writing that you find in few other cycling publications. It is not surprising that many who have seen it all give Bicycle Quarterly rave reviews:

"Loved it. It's a good thing, and I'll look forward to every one of them. I keep every issue."
Grant Petersen, Walnut Creek, CA, founder of Rivendell Bicycle Works

"Your superb research on the Campagnolo Gran Sport sets a new standard. Somebody has a two-cable Gran Sport and you show pictures of it! Campagnolo does not have one. I have always assumed that this was in the same league as the Holy Grail, and all we would ever see would be Rebour's drawing."
Frank Berto, San Anselmo, CA, author of "The Dancing Chain"

"The Rebour drawings in Bicycle Quarterly look even better than they did in the original French magazines!"
Raymond Henry, Entraigues, France, author of "Du Vélocipède au Dérailleur Moderne"

"One of the nice developments in the American randonneuring scene in recent years has been the arrival of Jan Heine's Vintage Bicycle Quarterly. [...] There have been many useful and interesting topics in VBQ the modern randonneur will want to read about, such as articles on generator lighting, fenders and touring bicycle steering geometry."
Bill Bryant, President, Randonneurs USA (American Randonneur Vol. 8, No. 3)

"When Bicycle Quarterly arrives, I drop everything until I have read it cover to cover."
Peter Weigle, Lyme, CT, framebuilder and constructeur

"If you don't subscribe to BQ, you should!"
Richard Sachs, Chester, CT, framebuilder

"I enjoy your magazine. We do not carry any magazines except yours."
Hiroshi Iimura, Jitensha Studio, Berkeley, CA

"I really like the magazine. Well done!"
Curt Goodrich, Minneapolis, MN, framebuilder

"During the last year I closed 16 periodical accounts, keeping only you and Velo News. I could not be happier."
Dndrew Muzi, Yellow Jersey Bicycles, Madison, WI

"Bravo to you for pulling together such great writers focused on such fascinating material!"
Chris Kostman, AdventureCorps, Oak Park, CA

"The new VBQ is fantastic."
Douglas Brooks, Bloomfield, NY

I am an avid cyclist and onetime shop owner (early 70’s) and have followed the bicycle literature somewhat closely. I had of late become pretty tired of what was available. However, I recently subscribed to Bicycle Quarterly and am very pleased and impressed. You have taken bicycle publications to a new level. Not only does Bicycle Quarterly have articles I want to read completely, it has articles I want to read completely more than once. Nice work!
Your current issue on tires/rolling resistance really shines. It contains articles which really cover the issue thoroughly including theory,  testing and practical information.
Barbour Warren, Trumansburg, NY

"This journal makes my day, time after time, because of the variety of surprises you present. The latest gift was the career history, with pictures, of the elusive Daniel Rebour."
Seth Finkelstein, Santa Cruz, CA

"Bicycle Quarterly's high production values, concise and thoughtful product reviews and tales of bicycle adventures near and far make this a magazine I always look forward to reading."
Beth Hamon, Portland, OR

"Bicycle Quarterly has added a wonderful new dimension to the love of bicycles and bicycling my wife and I share."
Steve Russo, Hampton, CT

"Bicycle Quarterly has to be one of, if not the, best bicycling magazines around now or ever. Got the new issue last night and am again amazed at the quality subject matter, writing, and excellent vintage and current photographs. Great work!"
Brad Upton, Corvallis, OR

"It is a first class piece of work. Beautifully written and finished, [...]very impressive, [...] a fabulous read."
Mark Petry, Bainbridge Island, WA
