Bad day - venting my ire at Cycling Plus!

[briantrumpet]

and to say it without resorting to cliche (sorry, no accents)

Oh, darn, I'd want to say it with an accent like René from Allo Allo.

Try some stories http://www.bicycletraveler.bicyclingaroundtheworld.nl/

Have to agree some of the stories about individual cyclists are worth a read . Unfortunately that's usually only 2 or 3 pages out of a whole mag.

I bet it had lateral stiffness and vertical compliance too.

A great deal of lateral stiffness was had by all.

£5.50's rather a lot to pay for 2 or 3 pages!

How did the 'Cockpit's' fare?

Ahh - my pet hate when bike mags refer to the "cockpit".

One of the lads in the club is a heli pilot and when I mentioned this turn of phrase, he almost fell off laughing.

Sadly, you'd only achieve an accent like Officer Crabtree...

On a brighter note, just heard my middle lad's been offered a position at KPMG in Leeds when he finishes Uni next month. So my ire is more than a little dissipated!

Mine too, along with dialed in settings.

Whilst no doubt lots of the prose in indeed nonsense I find it hard to believe that different bikes aren't, well, different. My Condor feels very different from my Thorn for instance despite both being similarly sized drop handlebar bikes at similar price points. Maybe an extreme example as they are very different styles of machine but still...

I cannot complain I get every three issues for £7.99. Joined years ago and they haven't put the price up. Have considered cancelling a few times but if I wanted to reinstate it I would be paying double per issue.

I'll subscibe whenever they do the 5 issues for £5 offer and ensure I cancel the Direct Debit before the full price kicks in. Do this before tomorrow and you also get a free Airwave Storm track pump.

One of them was probably let down by a disappointing set of wheels, even at this price point.

Hoops, man....hoops. You novice

Is that what it costs?I stopped buying a long while ago.I still get it,but free,through Zinio,courtesy of Cumbria Libraries.The funny thing is,even then I rarely look at it.

These magazines confuse me. They regurgitate the same old pap again and again, and have done so for so long that much of it is regarded as gospel, despite there being little or no actual evidence for any of it. Pap and tosh from people who know as much about bicycles as Roger Moore does about hoodies.
