BICYCLE TRAVEL JOURNAL

BICYCLE JOURNAL

Combining environmental concerns about travelling with a growing enthusiasm for cycling, this product intends to encourage people to take up travelling in this manner in short or long rides, through urban, suburban or rural areas, alongside roads, coasts and mountain paths and record these colourful journeys. On the one hand, the journal is an ode to that long-time travelling companion, his bike. On the other hand, however, it is also, and above all, supposed to encourage others to do the same, cycle and draw (possibly not at the same time). His drawings will act as prompters and punctuation marks, dividing sections (on travels through cities, the countryside, coasts, mountains, etc.), mapping out ideas and guiding imaginative riders through new landscapes, both real and imaginary. With 20 illustrations, blank pages to write on and 16 envelopes to store mementoes of your journeys. The journal will be designed by Roger Fawcett-Tang of Struktur Design. His previous books include New Book Design and Experimental Formats.
