Title: Total American hype BS with zero substance
Review: Living in Europe for the last 20 years, I'm spoiled with high-quality, realistic and useful cycling publications from France, Germany and the UK. From time to time, I do pick up a copy of Bicycling and each time I wonder how they stay in business. The articles are predominately shallow, succint, full of American-style "feel-good" BS and are devoid of real-world usefulness. I am both disappointed and saddened that the USA cannot produce a better magazine than Bicycling. It's shameful and maddening. Compared to "Top Vélo" or "Le Cycle" in France, Bicycling reads like a color catalog exercise for 12 year old children. With article headlines like "Lose 10 pounds in 25 minutes with Super-Duper-Intervals" or "Get fast, get strong, get healthy and ride like a pro in 3 easy lessons!" ... you quickly understand that it's like a saturday night sit-com with canned laughter ...on glossy paper. Serious readers, look elsewhere.
