Ditto on VeloNews.
Tho I think Cycle Sport is even better at covering the pro racing scene.
Road is also a good road magazine.
Bicycling has had some interesting stories lately, like the 501 lb guy who lost all the weight by cycling, and a while back a family who cycled together (husband, wife and I think 2 kids?). They were actually very good, long feature stories.
But I vote for CycleSport for hubby.
