Default Cycling Magazines - recommendations?

Do any of you subscribe to any cycling magazines, and, if so, which ones are particularly good. I'm
thinking of getting a subscription for my husband... any specific thoughts in regard to 'Pro-
Cycling' magazine?

Thanks,

Reennie

ProCycling rocks. Cycle Sport is good, too. Stay away from Bicycling magazine published by
Rodale. It blows.

What Kevan said, and maybe add Velo News to the list.

If he's interested in europro racing, CycleSport is very good. Velo News has a bit more coverage of
racing here in the US. I can't comment on Pro-Cycling. I've never seen it around here.

Is there any cycling mag that doesn't deal with pro-cycling and/or racing, or anything pro? I'm not
a pro, I want something for the average joe who uses bicylcing for enjoyment and improving health.
Looking at super expensive gear don't cut it, either.

Well, at least you'll have lots of nice pictures of expensive gear to look at.

Try Dirt Rag, Rivendel Reader, or Asphalt.

Cycling Plus is decent:

There's also Asphalt:

And cars. 7 pages of car ads, out of 91.

Although it DID have a nice one pager on a 4 wheel couch bike.

I got an included subscription to Bicycling when I joined the L.A.B. (I know, that's likely to start
another argument). I used to read it years ago, and was quite surprised at how bad it is now. I'm
not sure what bothers me more, the fact that it has so little real content, or it's assumption that
all it's readers are rich yuppies who can blow thousands on bikes and equipment.

Cycling Plus is good, though oriented toward UK cycling. I think it's better on touring and general
cycling than any of the US mags. It costs about $5 an issue to subscribe to if you live in the US.
