Subject: [CR]Bicycling Magazine's decline ...

I subscribed all throughout the 1970's (note to the editor : bicycling was essential equipment for cycling in the 1970's). I was suckered into a subscription recently after reading the fascinating store about graham obree (May or June) in a store bought issue.

WARNING. You send in the $11.97 reply card and they charge you $14.97 for your subscription. Call them to complain - they will change the price. I think they should retitle it "Poser" magazine ... If a health or nutrition article doesn't make the cut at "Self" or "Organic Living" magazine (other Rodale press rags) they change the pictures and publish the article in Bicycling - the Rodale Press Trash bin.
