New Roadie? |
|
Good magazine for riders of all levels, though it is tailored a little bit to the more experienced. However, most all articles I have read so far have been written so that a new biker like me can understand everything. I am looking forward to using a lot of the tips, ideas, and plans presented to make myself a better cyclist. |

Good for beginners |
|
After reading the various reviews I was still uncertain so I bought a copy at the local bookstore to try it out. I am a 51 year old woman who rides my bike around the neighborhood and in parks and aspires to be a commuter. For me it was extremely helpful as far as exercise, nutrition and other such guidance. Much of the technical stuff was over my head, but did contribute to my knowledge base. I have decided it is worth the $20 a year for someone like me. |

Greatest Bicycle Magazine! |

My husband loves bicycles, and he feels that this is the best magazine he can find on the subject! |

mediocrity has its virtues |
Publications like BICYCLING practically define narrow-casting. Aimed at a modest population that throbs with interest in their shared pursuit, a magazine like this one has to meet elevated expectations and yet recruit enough advertisers to pay the bottom line and maintain an accessible price.
The result is almost doomed to be something of a hybrid.
In my book, that's just ok. I read BICYCLING as much for the gear as for the articles on new products, new workouts, and exotic rides. Some months, I'm in it for the advertisements, sometimes for the review, sometimes for the workouts, sometimes just for the sheer pleasure of turning the pages and seeing what I can see.
That's what one should expect from a magazine like this one. It's not philosophy, not rocket science, and not a training manual for the Tour. It's just BICYCLING. That's pretty cool. |

Bicycling... |
Expected a little more techie stuff, more bike testing and more tips from the good fellas, but for reading material, it's entertaining and lite, good for lunch time, plane waiting or before napping.
Still, it's my first issue and would love to read the after Giro, after Tour and after Vuelta de Spain issues to see what comes along.
Loved the right breakfast article, and real sad that the new Madone article was only half a page review and a centerfold flash look.
Still, liked the magazine so far. |
