I found it interesting that I also emailed my letter to Bicycling magazine and I didn't even get the courtesy of a reply, not even an automated one. You know, something that says "Thank you for contacting Bicycling. If we decide to publish your letter, one of our editors will contact you as soon as we can find one sober enough to type." You know, that sort of thing. But from Bicycling, nothing. Nada.
