Cycling magazines?

[Cyclo Kitty]

Dirt Rag is the one American cycling mag we subscribe to and read, and re-read (DH commutes by train and this was one of his Xmas presents).

Cycling + is probably my favorite, for all the reviews, how-tos and training tips. I like the advocacy parts, and pretending I can actually go on one of the rides in the UK.

We got MBUK (Mountain Bike UK) last weekend, and it is published by the same group who publishes C+. The two share writers and reviewers.

I get the UK mags at Borders, but the LBS carries a bunch of mags, too. Haven't quite worked up to subscribing to C+, but I really should for the savings.

Online, I read/download Urban Velo (http://www.urbanvelo.org/) put out by some of the Dirt Rag folks, and then there's The Practical Pedal online and newsprint (http://practicalpedal.com/) which is free.

Cycling Plus is probably my fave ...

This month's issue has 170 pages.
They always include women in their bike tests (both reviewing and photo shoots), and always include WSD in their gear tests (ie jerseys and shorts).
They always cover women's racing (although not in as much details as the men's, unfortunately) and seem to have the perfect balance between being recreational and serious, serious racers.
Their workshops and reviews are second to none. This month's workshop is how to remove and strip down your cassette.

Good grief, sound like I'm on commission!

RoadRaven - they're huge fans of Ground Effect stuff, you'll be pleased to hear!

I'd scan some pages in, but the issues are so thick and eclectic, it's hard to know what people would want to see!

ProCycling and Cycle Sport are pretty good glossies, but more race specific, and not all encompassing like Cycling +

Will crawl back under my rock now!
