This is the 2nd Edition.
The magazine is £5.99 and I don’t know how many times it comes out. Maybe it is an occasional one off, and just an update of editions.
Is it female friendly? Yes, there are ads with women, and women’s commuting bikes and nice dutch bikes. It really makes a nice change and doesn’t patronise them unless of course, they are low income:-)
Information: Has good info on city road skills, fixing your bike, health
Interviews: Good, and with fellow commuters.
Info on buying bikes: Yes, good
Silly ads: Bspoke -selling black jackets and a commuter cycling all in black, which is ludicrous and out-of-touch with the SMIDSY factor.
Ads: Not swamped with ads thank god!
Ethnic Minorities: None again odd that it is a London magazine too. They must be censored at all costs! Ridiculous.
Friendly: Definitely
Letters Page: None, could have done with that. But, if it is a one off type mag I suppose they don’t need it
There was a helmet article. There were 16 adult helmets both men’s and women’s but no European/Skate/Commute helmets whatsoever (I have just bought one of them. It makes me feel more like a commuting cyclist not a racing one) and I think they look less dated.
There was a good article on folding bikes.. alway nice to drool over!
Bikes and locks articles: Both good, and reasonable value, not silly prices.Fair comments and doesn’t have the sell,sell,sell factor you see so often in irritating bike mags.
Catered for : Middle income white cyclist – same old guff really! There was a patronising article saying the lower income people aren’t educated about health.
Surprising post: Even pregnant cyclists were included, so Sam Cam, ride a bike and stop taking a taxi. Apparently cycling is good for mothers-to-be.
Good article on cycling away stress.
Would I buy it again: Yes, but have to save up!
Would I chuck or keep: KEEP!
