Milestones are a cyclist’s friend. There by the roadside, paint flaking, perhaps coiling with ivy, they remind you how far you’ve come, tell you how far you have to go, reassure you that you’re on the right track. The word ‘milestone’ has also come to mean any significant point in life, a moment whose passing signifies change and growth. People often talk of birthdays as milestones – waymarks on the journey through life, whose unknowable ultimate destination we all share.
Boneshaker’s reached issue 10 - a milestone in all these senses. And a bit like a birthday. But it’s not just our birthday: Boneshaker
would not – could not – exist without the
wonderful people who share their stories
and their pictures, and who keep the dream
alive by reading it. So slip a couple of beers
into your pannier alongside this here issue,
roll out to your favourite spot and join us
in celebrating. Happy birthday to us;
happy birthday to you.
