Adventure Cyclist Magazine: Open Road Gallery

You know something has captured readers’ imaginations when you hear again and again that they open to the back page of the magazine first. That something is Open Road Gallery, a peek into the 5,000-image–strong National Bicycle Touring Portrait Collection, a record of traveling cyclists dating back to 1982 — though Adventure Cycling cofounder and principal photographer Greg Siple has retired, the collection continues to grow and the striking black-and-white portraits and short vignettes about their subjects never fail to captivate.
