Main problem with Cycling Weekly is that it gives my husband the opportunity to say “shouldn’t you be cycling strongly?” every time I buy it. So I don’t get it very often. That and it is £2.60 which is a bit steep for a weekly.

i echo your comments. the comic is the ‘bible’ as far as i am concerned. and yet, i’m getting serious sportive fatigue; whole issues seem dominated by leisure cycling – which is good for the sport in its own way – but at the expense of the competitive stuff, which ultimately is the bedrock and the roots of british cycling. if you lose this completely, then you lose the mythic side of things, and cycling is a sport dominated by mythic endeavour, epic tales, heroism and despair. i’d like to see more of the heroism and despair, and a little less of the dentists on carbon DA road bikes doing a metric hundred in 8 hours. i nearly wet myself in excitement when i appeared in the backpages.

as for the ‘weight loss’ thing; it seems quite clear to me, eat less + cycle more = lose weight.

Good Point, it would be good to have more time trial results in Cycling weekly, not on half a page between tech and the ads. i haven’t got my name in that section yet as it’s just top 10; but would be good one day.
