I'm in the market for a bicycling mag. I'm not interested in off-roading,
long-distance touring or racing. My primary interests are all-weather
commuting (including a MN winter), and utility riding/cargo carrying.

A publication with a strong DIY tone would be a bonus.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark

No offence intended but, umm thanks, no. I had a subscription to
Buycycling magazine back in the mid-80s, had it for a year or so, and read
pretty much everything they had to say. According to my browsing at the
magazine rack, they don't have much of anything new yet.

Yeah, ok, but the guy asked for a recommendation. What would you then
recommend to him?

why bother with a mag. all they are there for is to sell you new stuff and
repeat the old stuff. there is far better info available on the net. plus it's
free.

Well, considering that I am the guy asking for a recommendation, I can
assure you that Buycycling isn't what 'the guy' is looking for.

CyclingPlus is a very good magazine. It covers the same kind of material as
Buycling, just at a much higher quality level. That doesn't sound like what
the original poster was asking for, though. You can find CyclingPlus in
bigger bookstores and bike shops. It is printed in England, so subscriptions
in the US are kind of pricey.

I think the original poster would be happier with something like the
Rivendell Reader: http://www.rivendellbicycles.com/html/reader.html

http://www.velovision.co.uk - I have subscribed for a couple of years
now and it is consistently the most content-rich magazine I buy, as
measured by the time required to read it.

After searching around for Minnesota-specific info,
Google coughed this up:
http://www.bikeped.org/

They at least have a newsletter, but it doesn't seem
to be downloadable/printable.

My searching also turned up Culture Change:
http://culturechange.org

apparently formerly known as The Auto-Free Times.
I find it interesting, but it might be too political
and not enough about just plain cycling for other
people's tastes. But I just learned from it that
bungee cords are a leading cause of eye injuries.

cheers,
