Now,I like that....a lot,So now we know what Judge Dredd rides.I can imagine a sarcastic bike being a Yamaha FS1E-mine was!Somethin like this:
Have no idea what a sarcastic bike would look like tho.
Disappointed with Cycling Active magazine's new style of concentrating on serious road bikes?

As someone who has a £2000 bike(that actually would be a £4000 bike if I hadn't got the frame at an advantageous price
)and is not exactly flushed with cash and would consider themselves a 'normal' cyclist I'll add my bit.Had a sub to this mag when I first started back but actually seemed to grow out of it so to speak after about 6 months and moved to other mags like Cyclist and Rouleur (and pro cyclist for racing);just found it was painfully dull and thought it was over-due for a re-vamp and think the new look is much better but I thought the content wasn't really much different.It's certainly no worse than c+ though which seems to get more annoying each month(and note that it's always sealed up now so you can't have a quick look to see if there's anything any good in it) and seem obsessed with the big marques.
Will probably stick with Cyclist,Pro Cycling and Rouleur (and maybe Bikes Etc although I actually think they have made that worse) as I find that especially with Cyclist and Rouleur I'll re-read older issues where-as the others usually end up in the recycling or left at the doctors.

Really do not understand people buying these over priced comic's, Same old thing month after month Full of advertising, The same information and more is available online

Simple.
I like reading real magazines the same way people like real books instead of book readers.

The fact remains that a lot of the content in many magazines (not just cycling ones) is never available online or only for digital subscribers. Apart from being much better in paper form (IMHO). C+ (and Bikes Etc, too) continue to hit the nail on the head for me. Bought one of the gravel bike frames on review in C+ this month and I'll be getting one of the disc brake wheelsets (had one on order but will probably end up cancelling & buying elsewhere due to a needed part being unavailable). The latest of many purchases on the back of their and others' reviews, and I expect to be as satisfied with these as the previous ones.

I went onto the Cycling World website and requested a free copy. I received an acknowledgement but so far no free copy!
Anyone else received one?

Agree. I ordered Cycling active prior to the change.Intend to cancel when the three months are up.
Agree it is a Cycling Plus clone.Had a look at Bikes Etc a it more down market and Cyclist. Bike reviews rather top end,but has some interesting actual cycling articles.
