My only complaint about the women's section in that magazine is that I wish it would have had more editorial content, but I am still glad they had included it.
If bike manufacturers - and magazine publishers - are in fact listening and do realize that there is a market for serous women cyclists, there would not be a special women's section once a year. There would be more content in every issue of the magazine that recognizes the fact that many of the cyclists in their audience are women.
