Jobst Brandt Ride Bike!

September 25, 2023

The Jobst Brandt-Ride Bike book is finally out. First, congrats to the ringleaders of this project—an important story can now be shared with the outside world. Next come launch parties, then everyone must get hold of a copy!So many elements make this cycling saga captivating:

  • Spectacular scenery—it's, after all, about the great outdoors.
  • Bold exploration—Jobst epitomized the feisty, independent thinking of the region and times.
  • Secret sauce = special topography, culture, engineering, personalities, and serendipity combine for amazing experiences and accomplishments.
  • Epic riding—Sierras, Santa Cruz Mountains, Alps, etc.; captured in more than 200 photographs.

The book takes you through four decades of of cycling adventure and technical achievements via Jobst's writings, interviews with 28 contemporaries, and many images not before available. I especially like the historic scenes from Cinelli's factory.

We have copies for sale (USD$45—hardbound), and a limited reprinting of The Bicycle Wheel (USD$30—hardbound).Furka Pass–1973Jobst and Cino Cinelli, mid-1970's.
