Actually, for us, those rags totally bite. But for newbies they have new and exciting info and they are useful for the first year. I learned an awesome lot from mags at first and they were really helpful. Thats why I recommended them- we know how to pick a line and repack a bearing and use a heart rate monitor. Lv4tunes is in a strange new world and needs a primer.
I like Mountain Bike Action- or at least I did, haven't seen it in a while. "How to win at Dual Slalom" is an article worth reading. BIKE was amazing- (anybody read the Burning Man issue? ) but Peterson Press keeps buying up all the good bike magazines and ruining them. Since Mountain Biking and Bicycling keep reprinting EXACTLY the same 12 issues every year they aren't at all interesting after that, but yeah, they have a place in the world.
I'm sure there are good mags, it's just hell to find them in New Orleans so maybe we need a bike porn thread?

We don't even have a single news stand left in this pathetic town; can't even get regular porn, much less foot fetish or surf magazines. BORING.
