For the love of traveling on two wheels, part two

Early this year we alerted you to a whimsical new travel magazine launch: the obscurely-named Bunyan Velo, a new quarterly digital magazine launched out of Minneapolis, Minnesota by a group of idealistic young editors, focusing on the the slow travel pleasure of bicycle travels.
