Escape Collective

Escape Collective was established in March 2023, aiming to become the leading bike website online. We are supported by our community – created by enthusiasts, for fellow cyclists. Our editorial approach is based on two main principles. First, we believe that in-depth coverage is more valuable than superficial overviews. You can count on us to explore topics thoroughly instead of just scratching the surface. Second, we strive to cater to a specific audience rather than trying to please everyone. This means we have a clear understanding of our identity and passions, and our content will showcase the diverse and ever-changing interests of our editorial team.

Collective Favourites - Bike travel bags

Whether it's crypto-based Twitter hacks, the rising perils of AI, copycat pranksters, Google-results-juicing sponsored content or ransomware attacks, the information superhighway is full of things about to run you over. And the cycling industry is no less at threat of this than any other.
Finding a deeper connection through the lens

I'll explain the photo of Kaj above in a few paragraphs. But first some context. And a bunch of photos. They say photography is a journey. Like many creative pursuits, the act of making photographs is not something one will ever master. Rather, it's a process of experiencing, learning and growing. And it can be habit-forming; with the constant chase of the perfect composition always close but never quite attainable.

Soudal-Quick-Step has confirmed that Remco Evenepoel will get his 2025 campaign underway this Friday at Brabantse Pijl ahead of a full slate of Ardennes races in what will mark a long-awaited return to competition after his crash-marred offseason. The Olympic champion was doored by a postal worker while out on a training ride in December, suffering a broken rib, shoulder blade, and hand, and thus needed months to recover.
Where did all the headbadges go?

Iain Treloar, Jeffrey Conner, Dave Rome, Giant, Trek, Gruber Images, Curve, Wilde, Jen GreenEvery so often you'll come across a bike and see something glinting on the front of the head tube: a shiny badge, catching the sun and standing out against the frame like a little piece of bicycle jewellery.

1 week ago | escapecollective.com | Matt De Neef

After an absence spanning a full six years, the Jayco Herald Sun Tour is set to return in 2026. Australia's oldest stage race didn't run in 2021 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and didn't return in 2023 due to "ongoing logistical, planning, timing, and workforce challenges". While there were plans for the race to happen in 2024 and again in 2025, those never eventuated and many suspected the race was gone for good.

There's a scene in the first act of Richard Wagner's opera Siegfried in which the titular character stands before a flaming smithy and forges a great and magical sword from the shards left to him by his father. Destined to become one of mythology's legendary warriors, here Siegfried is young, supernaturally strong, and ebullient; the three qualities together breed a certain and deserved arrogance.
