Yippee! Finally!

I finally found a commercial bicycling magazine that I LIKE (Adventure
Cyclist is a part of Adventure Cycling/BikeCentennial and therefore not
commercial, it's not a stand alone product)!

Its called Bicycle Times, and unlike all the others, its not 99.9%
devoted to those poor slobs who miss sleep worrying about how they can
shave that extra 3/100ths of a second of their ride time! It's devoted
to us slobs who just like to ride. To enjoy the escape and pleasure
without worrying how fast we are going. Tourists, club riders,
commuters, the plain guy.

OK, it's no Bicycle Rider, and it's exisance probably isn't even news to
some of you, as it's been out for a while now; it comes out quarterly
and I just picked up my first issue, #003. But its new to this South
Carolina backwoods hillbilly.

Has a facebook group?

It sometimes discusses more-stylish-yet-utile riding garb
that departs from the drearily usual cyclist clothing fare,
so when you ride to the supermarket, you don't have to look
like an Gong Show reject, awkwardly clacking around with yer
cleats on the floor, wearing ill-fitting tights and keeping
your helmet on in the store so everyone absolutely recognizes
you as a Serious Cyclist.

If anything, its main topic is getting around at all
on bicycles.

Has a facebook group?

Dunno 'bout that. I don't even know if having a facebook
group is a good thing or a bad thing.


cheers,
Tom

So its is ****** clothing. FFS, who wears cleats.

Dunno 'bout that. I don't even know if having a facebook group is a

I joined it and their messages were mainly about recruiting models and
fashion clothing. I don't remember any mention of actually doing any
riding.

=v= No. They had a bicycle fashion show at Interbike, so it
was a topic at the time, but not the magazine's main topic.

models and fashion clothing.

=v= Yes, they were recruiting models for Interbike. It's not
a good idea to use one data point to jump to conclusions.
It's been published for years, you know.

I think Chris would enjoy the magazine, even if
TerryC doesn't.

The buzz phrase of this financial quarter is 'viral marketing', but
I'm over 18 so it's likely already pase.
