VeloVision was a quarterly magazine that covered specialised bicycles, utility cycling and human power worldwide since 2000 [1] and was originally published and edited by Peter Eland. The format is 230mm x 280mm (slightly over A4). The headquarters of the magazine was in York. [2]

In 2015, Eland retired from publishing the magazine and sold it to a former reader, Howard Yeomans. [3] [4] VeloVision covered utility and delivery bikes, commuting, folding bikes, tandems, special needs cycling, recumbents. [5] The magazine closed in December 2016. [6]

A last effort was tried with a number 53 in March 2018, [7] by Simon Webb, using crowdfunding. [8]

A French website now uses a similar name, [9] in 2024.
