About the magazine

The Adventure Cycling Association, founded in 1974 as Bikecentennial, is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering people to travel by bicycle. Its core mission is to create and support a vibrant cycling culture through route development, advocacy, and community-building. The organization maintains the Adventure Cycling Route Network, a comprehensive system of long-distance cycling routes across North America, and publishes Adventure Cyclist magazine, which features stories, photography, and practical advice from the world of bicycle travel. The annual Bicycle Travel Photo Contest is a key initiative that celebrates the visual storytelling of cycling journeys, inviting photographers to share their experiences and perspectives from the road.
