Thanks for that mention of Cycling Plus. I'll check it out. My local
bookstore carries it though it's out right now, they're awaiting the
next shipment. I'll check out a copy. I'm not big into magazines,
that's why I wish they were online; but it's sometimes nice to have an
informative mag laying about when you want to peruse your favorite
pastime late at nights - especially when they have worthwhile articles.

=v= Yeah, they've published some nice repair books with lots
of helpful photos. I learned a lot from them -- everything but
truing wheels, which I learned from a community bikes zine.

=v= Having lots of photos is a good approach.

As a Life Member of the L.A.W./B., I am stuck with a freebie sub to
Buycycling until it goes to the great talk show in the sky. (Rodale
Sr. reference.)

American Bicyclist is the correct (current) name for the L.A.B.
magazine. It was quarterly, now it's more frequent. (For some reason
they send me two copies --now there's a way to boost circulation!--
but I'm not getting up to check the stack.) If memory serves, members
requested more publications per year, and they complied.

Now if they'd just bring back the Editor's Scrapbook...compilations
from bike club newsletters and fun stuff from throughout the
country...
