The funny thing is if AEsco48 would have started a thread asking where to find velonews, cyclesport, or procycling, he would have gotten:

"Don't get that, you're not experienced enough, get Bicycling"
"What do you want those for, those magazines are for serious cyclists."

Maybe he wants to read the article on doing a century or the article on doping. Maybe it's for someone else who has never ridden a bike. Maybe he wants to leave it around the house to get someone else's a** onto a bike. Maybe he wants to advertise in it.

On a less preachy note, if the bookstores don't carry it, ask the manager to get it. It doesn't really cost them anything to carry it and Cycle Sport America. Others will want it, they just don't know it yet since it's not there to see.

Also, local magazine distributors might have it. Those are the companies that supply all the mags to supermarkets, smaller bookstores, and pharmacies. If the local distributor has it; then they likely drop issues off at all stops. Basically, they get magazines at no cost from the publishers, place them around town and whatever has sold they pay for. So even if they don't carry it; ask them to get some and sprinkle them around your whole city.

Don't use the word "sprinkle" though; it's not an industry term.
