Bicycling mag suggestions, please.
I'm in the market for a bicycling mag. I'm not interested in off-roading,
long-distance touring or racing. My primary interests are all-weather commuting (including a MN winter), and utility riding/cargo carrying. A publication with a strong DIY tone would be a bonus. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks, Mark -- Remove both wrongs to make the email address right. |

DIY is featured, as are diet, training, gear, and cycling news (two separate issues featuring TDF, oh well...). |

I had a subscription to Buycycling magazine back in the mid-80s, had it for a year or so, and read pretty much everything they had to say. According to my browsing at the magazine rack, they don't have much of anything new yet. Mark -- Remove both wrongs to make the email address right. |

What would you then recommend to him? -paul -- paul DOT cassel aT gMail dot COM |

why bother with a mag. all they are there for is to sell you new stuff and
repeat the old stuff. there is far better info available on the net. plus it's free. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

Well, considering that I am the guy asking for a recommendation, I can assure you that Buycycling isn't what 'the guy' is looking for. Mark -- Remove both wrongs to make the email address right. |
