Bicycling magazine has done a much better job of relating to the casual cyclist then a couple of years ago when it was nothing but hard core roadies and high end bikes. In fact, the latest issue of Bicycling magazine shows people touring in Kakhi's and regular shorts instead of spandex. Sure, Bicycling also caters to high end cycling because of the ad revenue. Bicycle Times only comes out every two months.
Bicycling has never tested a bike, bike component, bike clothing item, or bike accessory that they didn't like.
Agreed, but they aren't alone in that. If they gave a bad review, that removes that company from ever advertising in your magazine again.
