And let us shed a tear for what Bicycling Magazine used to be...

Can you imagine them doing anything like this at any time in the last two decades... let alone having the result be, "They're all awesome... pick the one you like best, because the differences don't matter?"

Someone should lock the current staff in a room with a complete set of magazines from the 80s and tell them, "We're not letting you out until you can write articles like this."

(Also, they should be forced to read every issue of Bicycle Guide, just to drive the point home... Straight through their foreheads.)
