Women's Sports Magazine

[Kathi]

I'm a subscriber also, I've enjoy the articles but agree that it needs to be more in depth. For example, the article on women's bikes in the May issue just skimmed the surface on bike fit and bike models.

There used to be a magazine called "Woman's Sports and Fitness" that was great. There was an issue on womens gear that reviewed Road bikes, mtn bikes, hiking gear, inline skates, tents, sleeping bags, etc. There was a feature on riding your first century etc. One issue had a Bicycle Buyer's Bible that was 12 pgs of bike information. Many of the issues were "keepers" and excellent reference guides, I've kept some of them even though the products are now outdated.

I miss that magazine because I learned so much and would love to see another one like it.

Unfortunately, it was bought out by Conde Nast and they ruined it. It became a glitzy New York mag and I dropped my subscription.

Used to be Dandelion, right?

I liked it a few years ago, but it's too watered down for me now.

Maybe you can get it back to being juicy and exciting! And put some more biking stuff into it!

Get those folks HOPPING again! (just put a little bug in their ears, just for me, ok?)

Edit: I still get the magazine subscription, but I just glance through it and then take it to work and donate it to the waiting room. And I "borrow" the waiting room's copy of Bicycling.

Thanks for the feedback!!

The founder of Women's Adventure used to be a staff member at Women's Sports & Fitness before the CondeNast takeover. She has plans to grow the range of content in Women's Adventure as the staff grows (we're a shoe-string operation right now!).

Thanks Nuthatch, I thought there was a connection but wasn't sure.

I used to LOOOOVE Women's Sports and Fitness!!! Oh, that was such a great magazine! I was depressed when that one got bought and they changed it.

Dandelion was a little like WS and F for a while.

i signed up for the free magazine, but never received it. i did get a letter in the mail asking if i wanted to renew my suscription.

i understand i live in BFE and everything takes a lot longer to get here, but i think i was left out.

anyone else have this problem?

i signed up too, and all i have ever gotten from them is a bill which i threw away.
(I'm not paying for a free issue before i even see it!)
