Honestly I don’t know what you mean when you say “way to much racing stuff in it and I am guessing it is aimed at Lance Armstrong types” Does “Lance Armstrong type” refer to racers, road cyclists, or something more specific? Are you looking for a magazine with more off-road stuff, or touring/commuting/utility stuff.
Easy there!!!! Non-sport cyclists only know of one sport cyclist, and his name is Lance Armstrong. When we see somebody on a road bike, clad in spandex, Lance is our only frame of reference. And yes, I could almost as easily say the same thing about Michael Jordan. Definitely Wayne Gretzky. Don't take it personally.
