The listings magazine devotes much of its current issue to cycling
The listings magazine has produced a 'pedal power' issue. Cycling is covered on pages 20 through to 44.
"Dogs, God and bikes: a few of your favourite worst nightmares. These are the subjects that make the Time Out postbag bulge and divide Londoners like no other issues. Ever since the first penny-farthing trundled down a city back street, London has been a town split asunder by the bike. For some it’s a tyrannous contraption, ridden by demented maniacs intent on pushing pedestrians from the pavement for ever; for others, bikes represent the bright future of an eco-sensitive urban transport network."
According to Time Out, the issue is “The ultimate two-wheeled guide to the capital with: Crosstown traffic: car vs bus vs bike vs walking – we discover the fastest way to traverse the city PLUS Tarmac wars! London’s most divisive debate between pedestrians and pedal-pushers rages on AND Leisure cycling routes: great ideas for pedalling days out in the east and west.”

... you guys took a while to notice this one.
I particularly liked the article where they had a multi-transport race across town, but everyone was using a method unusual to them. The bike still won by a mile.

A bike isn't unusual to Jenny Jones! It was a good piece though.

Yeah, well done bike biz with your finger on the pulse - tell us about a magazine that's been out a week, has a shelf-life of a week and will be replaced by a new magazine tomorrow!

Nice piece (towards the back) on the popularity of bike polo and Rollapaluza roller-racing
