Ryan, Cool post it. Congrats on your accomplishment.

funetical, what team do you speak of? USA vs. UK? Or are we talking foxholes? I'd share a foxhole with you - pull you over on top of me when it really gets rough.

Seriously, look at the editorial piece at the front of each Bicycling magazine. Some sweet lady describing how she saved the planet today for having ridden her bike around New York City hunting for the best pastry. No car for her, she'd rather go shopping on her bike and find all kinds of consumer items to tow home. Goes on to describe her succulent finds. She saved a litre of petrol today but brought home a boat-load of plastic crap to further fill the barges that deport NYC on their way out to sea. And that crap isn't going on a cruise. They dump it in the ocean. Still.

I hate Bicycling mag and its collection of phony editors and sultry models of botoxed lips and the lousy writers and dreadful illustrators.

Happy New Year
Ian

You mean a "writer". No wonder you're going broke.

Good morning, Hack.

Good morning, Hack.

I have not had my coffee yet. This is why I do my writing in the evening.

I just looked at the stats for my site for all of 2009, and it was very sad. Then I noticed that I hadn't started using Analytics again until August, making the figures much better.

Every time you see an edit under one of my posts it's for me going back to make a spelling correction. However, there is not cure for bad sentence structure.

Interesting, I get the mags for the adds, go to the source for info on the science of performance. The studies are interesting, most interesting of all is who PAID for the study, conflict of interest is rampent.

The mags do have pretty pictures though.

I really like the first twelve issues of "Bike" magazine way back when. For me , they really caught the essence of mountain biking. They changed their format and thus lost my interest.
Mountain Bike Action was pretty good but the photos resembled Motocross Action, you know, some too cool shaved leg dude sliding into a burm and kicking up dirt or doing a knack knack on a XC bike.

Mountain Biking and Bicycling were my two favorites but after a while, the articles just seem to repeat themselves. It's that way for sure with the 4X4 mags.
