Cyclingnews Crap Layout
Man, I simply can't get past the first page on the "new" Cyclingnews
website. I miss the old layout and the way that the news was presented. I've even taken to going to the Velonews website to find out stuff these days despite the fact that they're almost as bad. Is there another bike racing/information website that isn't trying to look as if they're put on by highly commercial entities?

But I don't like the magazine layout and I sure don't like the rotating headlines crap.

If you notice, some of their writers and field reporters have either bailed and gone to other sites, or just left. I noticed some of these guys elsewhere now. They were/are advertising for new positions on CN. For the amount of work, its probably not worth the pay. However, what many call CN downfall was by not listening to its readers who overwhelmingly said no to the new site design and has opened the door for a number of other sites. While it doesn't offer the content and simple no nonsense navigation of the past, its no longer a threat to be considered "The Centre of Cycling". That's probably a joke now, even though they still use that term. There is far too much real serious competition out there which are collective in numerous sites. Velonews is probably one of the biggest benefactors from CN's new site design. I almost never go to CN now strictly because of that crappy maze. Even DP often has much better photos and stories without the maze effect. My biggest beef is CN times out nearly half the time I try to go there, so I quit that nonsense shortly after the new design. Velonews is standard, but what really cuts CN's stance on the world (IMO) is the new language translators Google has built into its browser. English is no longer limitation. You can go to any French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, even Czech cycling sites and browser will automatically translate the news and results into English. Also in common languages like French or Italian, it does it remarkably well, better then translation sites. I noticed even Velo Nation has obtained some of the latest dirt before CN, and other sites specialize quite well on certain areas which offer better windows into cycling info. Most sites have commerical ads or logos. No getting around that, but many have simple yet readable no nonsense content and navigation.

I need a new hobby, maybe I could find something good to ruin. I've been out out of destroying things mode since I had that little incident with the Berlin Wall. It's time for a comeback.
