from East Meadow Date Reviewed: August 15, 2005 Strengths: Graphics, Current as to subject, Writing witty at times. Weaknesses: Product reviews are somewhat (and sometimes) questionable in terms of potential self interest, as opposed to accuracy. More in depth reporting would be a plus, if it was there. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: I do only Road. Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Direct Similar Products Used: CycleSport Bike Setup: Trek 5.2 Madone with several of my own inventions currently inhabiting its frame...such as...some nifty nanotechnology (such as, for one, nanorobits that keep the bike perpetually self cleaning, energized by ambient heat values and/or sunlight and a miniature lcd screen in an oversized stem using the bike as an antenna to input to a GPS circuit I built (super light weight I may add) and LOTS more (experimental aluminized glass serving as rims...VERY strong and 1/6th the weight of titanium (lest you get any ideas, VERY expensive too!)).

from Washington, DC, USA Date Reviewed: July 20, 2004 Strengths: Nothing comes to mind; see Bottom Line. Weaknesses: 90% of the magazine is fluff. Some of the material is so absurd that you wonder if they're just joking--like the fashion spread of ladies dresses made out of bike inner tubes. When I get the magazine each month, I just start flipping pages looking for ANYTHING that's not either fluff or advertising. (The ads are often better than the copy, especially when there's something new out there.) And the product reviews? They could be the companies' own pre-release blurbs; there is NOTHING reviewed by anybody with a brain here. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Velonews. Dirt Rag. Bike. Bike Setup: Road: Klein Quantum Race. Mtn: Specialized Stumpjumper FSRxc Disc. Stealer: Specialized Rockhopper Blue.
