Howdy Folks

Now, I’m not one for posting on forums much, in fact this is my first time on here. I do read them though now and again though and keep up with all the main cycling sites most of the time and I kinda feel compelled today to have a rant about how poor the level of ‘News’ reporting has become. There’s been some ‘articles’ I’ve thought of as real howlers recently and I suppose I just thought it was time someone said something. Thankfully no STW ones spring immediately to mind. These are just a few examples, there are almost certainly many more. Please feel free to add your own.

But without further ado tonight’s nominees:

Bikeradar’s cheap, thinly veiled and completely pointless piece about 2 page 3 girls standing near a guy on a bike. What were they thinking?

Bikemagic’s seatclamp exclusive.

and, for me, tonight’s winner: When News and Advertising go wrong (this is apparently supposed to be a News feature by the way)…
