TE ladies in Bicycling Mag

[mimitabby]

I hope it's in mine too, thanks for the info

I was going to subscribe to Bicycling, but now I'm having second thoughts...only certain issues have a women's section? What are we, chopped liver? Those poor men, having to flip past a few pages devoted to women...well, I'm not really interested in reading about guys...so I think I'll keep my money in my pocket!

I am really disgusted with this. Sure enough. we don't have those pages.
PLEASE folks, write to Bicycling Magazine and let them know how disappointed you are!
(I already did!)

I JUST got my JUNE issue and you already have July? Wonder where I can get a copy. Did they use our pictures?

Anyone have a copy they can scan for me???

And no, we did not get anything. None of the gear mentioned....

Grrrr. I read this thread at work and just assumed that I hadn't gotten the July issue yet. I just checked the mag that's been sitting on my desk at home for the past week, and sure enough it's the July issue, but without the "special" section.

That just blows.

I don't have my latest copy to hand. The latest one I have has Floyd on the front cover - and no women's section - is that the one we are talking about

When I saw "makeover" I thought it meant they were putting make-up on you

They used you.

I think someone should write a letter to the editor and have it signed by everyone on this discussion board who wishes to express their displeasure.
Or better yet, overload them with individual letters

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Not to say anything against you ladies who participated, but I thought they were going to write about what biking means to you and how you gals have achieved rewarding things in your lives due to your efforts and determination.
Instead, the very word "makeover" implies that you all needed to be changed in some way. Like you would be "better" if you only had this gear and that gear.
Phooey! Why aren't you good enough as you are? Why aren't they celebrating that?
And....why didn't they give you even one "token" item of some of the gear they are claiming you need???

[kelownagirl]

I agree with you Lisa. That's definitely what I wrote about - the rewards and the personal achievements (mentally and physically) I've made in the past year. She did ask about my goals and I said I wanted to improve my climbing this year so I assume that's what my "makeover" is about. She did say they'd be making suggestions as to how I can achieve my goal but I wasn't thinking "makeover". So does anyone have the magazine and can tell me what I'm supposed to be changing?
