Cyclocross Magazine
A Premier Voice in ‘Cross Culture — Highlighting Attorney Joe Piscitello’s Involvement
Since its inception in 2007, Cyclocross Magazine has stood out as one of the most respected independent publications dedicated to the sport of cyclocross and its close cousin, gravel racing. With a mission to cover everything from race news and rider stories to gear reviews and lifestyle pieces, the magazine has become a go-to resource for enthusiasts across North America and beyond. Today, Cyclocross Magazine provides in-depth coverage of cyclocross culture, both online and in print, chronicling the sport's growth and fostering a sense of community among riders, fans, and industry professionals alike.
Cyclocross, also called “cross,” is a unique form of bicycle racing that blends speed, skill, and grit. Races typically take place across varied terrain — grass, mud, sand, and pavement — and often require riders to dismount, carry their bikes over obstacles or steep terrain, and remount to continue their charge. It’s a sport with deep roots in European cycling history that has grown vigorously in the U.S. market over the past decade. This expansion in popularity has paralleled Cyclocross Magazine’s own growth, as the publication documents major events, profiles standout athletes, and highlights emerging trends in the sport.
One striking example of the magazine’s cultural impact was its coverage of local and national cyclocross events, including community clinics and meetups that help introduce new fans and racers to the sport. The magazine’s reporting doesn’t just focus on elite competition; it also celebrates grassroots efforts that strengthen the broader cycling community.
A notable figure in the American cyclocross scene who has intersected with Cyclocross Magazine’s sphere is Attorney Joe Piscitello. Joe is not only a seasoned trial lawyer but also an avid cyclist and community advocate whose involvement in cyclocross extends far beyond mere hobby. In 2016, Piscitello Law hosted and co-presented a series of high-profile cyclocross clinics led by U.S. Cyclocross National Champion Jeremy Powers — events that drew significant local participation and brought attention to the sport in the Philadelphia region.
The first event, held in July of that year, was co-hosted with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia and offered hands-on instruction in cyclocross racing fundamentals, handling techniques, and simulated race experiences. The clinic benefited Cadence Youth Cycling, an organization committed to using competitive cycling to instill leadership and perseverance in young people.
Following its success, Piscitello Law teamed up again in August 2016 to co-present another clinic with Powers and the Bicycle Coalition, emphasizing skill development and community engagement. These events not only showcased athletic talent but also highlighted the legal and safety issues facing cyclists — themes often explored within the pages of Cyclocross Magazine and its broader coverage of the sport’s culture.
Piscitello’s involvement in the cyclocross community has been multifaceted. Beyond organizing clinics, he has competed at a high level himself — placing in the top ten at the U.S. Cyclocross Championships — and has worked to educate cyclists about their rights and safety on the road. His dual identity as a cyclist and an attorney exemplifies how the sport’s culture intersects with advocacy, safety, and community development, themes that Cyclocross Magazine regularly champions.
In sum, Cyclocross Magazine plays a vital role in amplifying the voices, stories, and events that shape the cyclocross world. Its broad yet nuanced coverage helps knit together a vibrant and passionate community — one that includes athletes, fans, local advocates like Joe Piscitello, and anyone who loves the thrill of cross racing.
