    How nice would it be if rather than waiting for each different magazine to come out each month, they were all combined into one. As far as I can tell there are 2 major publishers and a few minor ones that put out all the mags, what if they were to combine everything into one big magazine once a month….I would even pay the same as I do now for individual ones.

    I don’t care if you think i’m mad

    You can avoid looking like a fireman. I pretty much agree. I subscribe to the Cyclist, it’s exactly what you want from a cycling magazine. Reviews of ‘exotic climbs/rides’, aspirational cycling gear, a nod to the past and a look to the future, with cycling etiquette thrown in for good measure.

    Rouleur is either too expensive or too pompous, I’m not sure which yet. I enjoy picking it up and looking at it (like one of those art publications), but it is sometimes hard to read and assumes you are as firmly rooted up your backside as your prostate.

    The under-rated magazine here, it seems, is Pro-cycling, which I initially thought sat in with the ‘How to ride your first Sportive’ magazines, but actually sits more happily in the realms of the sport and is pretty credible.

    I would be quite happy to see the ‘Day-glo duos clad in lycra’ nonsense set on fire by an enraged bike courier each month (I would pay to see that). In fact there is now the ‘urban cyclists’ magazine which I initially liked the look of but realised it just a hipsters style guide with nothing more to say than what sort of plastic wheels would look good with a tweed jacket.

    God, no! At least this way we can safely avoid beardies testing flat-bar hybrids, endless sportive guff, nutrition/fitness advice for the terminally stupid, and “tests” of things we never knew we didn’t need or want (see Cycling Active, Cycling Plus, Cycling Weekly passim) and just buy Cyclist and Rouleur.

    Most could be done annually on a postage stamp. 1) Eat less. 2) Ride more. 3) Do intervals. 4) Don’t do intervals all of the time. 4) Buy more stuff. 5) Particularly carbon stuff.
