I remeber seeing it in a bike shop in Edinburgh (the one near the junction of Bellevue and East Claremont Street, down the road from Broughton Street).
A moment of epiphany - a mag aimed at those of an uncertain age. Those poor lost souls who wavered between the age of being downwivdakidz and wise old sages.
It was exciting. Finally - a mag which spoke to me on my terms, intelligently and with no small amount of vitality and vivacity. The lack of shouty adverts was a big plus too.
Life went on, despite the discovery and I lost the road for a good few years, only to find it again, in the shape of STW forum, whilst trying to find out what the big ruckus was, regarding tubeless tyres.
I'm now subscribing again and although the voice is the same, I wonder if I now hear it in a different way.
I'm genuinely upset by the spate of recent bannings. So upset that I tried to log into mleh but it's been so long I can't remember my password or username, so no solace there.
I completely understand that STW is a business and must be run as such but as has been mentioned more than once, it's a sum of its (interesting) parts.
