I was thinking the same thing as the first poster after receiving the latest Bicyling issue yesterday. One of the cover stories was called something like "Ten Things Every Cyclist Needs." My wife and I tried to imagine the contents before we turned to the article. Ten things every cyclist needs? a bike? legs? a beating heart?
As we might have known, the ten things we "need" were all high-end specialty items from companies that regularly advertise in the mag.
I've got a bike I love...I've got sufficient tools and a good repair manual...I've got legs and a heart.
I think Bicycling just dropped off my personal "Ten Things Every Cyclist Needs" list.
