I think that may have something to do with the publisher, Rodale Press. I stopped reading Bicycling's sibling publication, Backpacker, because it started to seem as if it was being written for frat boys looking to get laid out in the woods

The cover of this month's issue features Nicole Cooke, a British rider who's currently the top ranking female road racer in the world. Cycling Plus is a bit better than Bicycling at covering the female angle. In their reviews of cycling gear, for example, they'll list 12-20 or so items and probably a third or more will be women's specific. They've got room to improve, but they're pretty good.

I ordered my subscription through the Cycling Plus website. It showed up on my credit card statement as $80. If you're interested in subscribing, I'd definitely suggest that you watch the exchange rates and see if you can time your order for when the US $ isn't so crappy compared to pounds.


And, I gotta admit, one of my favorite things about Cycling Plus is all the British slang I'm picking up Speaking of which, can one of you UK TE ladies tell me what "stonking" means (as in "stonking coastal climbs" mentioned in a ride description)?
