Yep, Bicycling Mag has about as much to do with cycling as Madonna.
As a newcomer to road cycling I read a few of the the mags. Then I realized they were just ads for more expensive bikes. Then I read their web site. They had a request for people to take a survey. Just for funnsies I took it. Or should I say I tried to take it.
As soon as I put in my age a pop-up appeared telling me I didn't fit their criteria and the whole survey vanished. Suspicions confirmed.
The owners have a right to do what they want with their magazine. On the other hand I have a right not to pollute my mind with their age biased, superficial material.
