Not very slick or pretty, but lots of great articles about maintaining your bike and relatively-unbiased product reviews. Oh, and not a lot of ads either. That worked, back in the day. Not anymore. Like nearly all magazines, they´re dependent upon advertising revenue, so you´re bombarded with slick ads for expensive bikes that you might have no interest in. Big deal, that´s what pays the bills to keep it alive. Bicycling remains a source of interesting articles about mainstream cycling, and they do a great job during the Tour de France with their website.
But Bicycling Magazine is weak on advocacy issues, and it should have been them, not an individual user, heading up the Facebook crusade against outrageous bike fees charged by airlines ([...]). Nor did they have a visible presence at the annual DC Bicycle Summit, the big lobbying event put on by the League of American Bicyclists. Lots of room for improvement. Just don´t put them down because they´re slick & glossy. That´s not a crime these days, it´s a requirement.. And summed up by saying Still a few gems in there. You just have to dig a bit.. Currently Bicycling (1-year) has an overall rating of 6 over 10.
