I agree whole-heartedly with Becky Bates about "Bicycle Rider" magazine.
It is a great magazine for the tourist.  The entire magazine seems to
consist of tour summaries (with terrific photos - if you've ever read
"Arizona Highways", you know what I'm talking about) and product reviews
(bikes, touring equipment, etc.)  Also, I don't know if this will last
as the magazine gets more established, but the paper stock is really
superior and the cover stock is out-of-this-world-glossy (the magazine
is mailed in a plastic wrapper to protect it!)  So you see,
they are sparing no effort to make it a really high-class magazine.

Oh, by the way, they don't limit themselves to paved-road tours, either.
They have mountain bike reviews and tours.

I'm dropping my subscription to "Bicycling" now.  "Bicycling" lost their
technical appeal to me when they spun off the "Bike Tech" newsletter
(a total rip-off!) and now there's no reason to subscribe to them at all
unless you are into racing.  Too bad for them...

"The surest thing there is is we are riders,
 And though none too successful at it, guiders,
 Through everything presented, land and tide
 And now the very air, of what we ride."
