    You know, I get discouraged and jaded, but I figure, FOR SURE nothing will change if we don't let them know that (1) we spend money on cycling and (2) we care about the marketing.

    I always feel like, well, at least this time I'm speaking up for what I believe. Hope others will, too.

    offensive ad

    Good thread. I've seen the ad for the "recreational" aid in the last few issues of the Bicycling mag. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. Had to check the magazine cover to make sure I wasn't reading adult material. How did this product ad get in this magazine? It's totally out of place. My brain was thinking about bikes and then I see the pictures of the furniture-size mold. If Bicycling mag thinks this is ok, then what's next?

    I have no problem with that product but as (I think) Starfish said, it's more suited to Men's Health than Bicycling. This just emphasizes how biased that magazine is.
    And when I think back to the women of TE issue my blood boils even more.

    I would never buy that magazine.
