Fixed Wheel Article in Men's Health

Picked up a copy of the October issue of Men's Health on Friday and there's an article on fixed riding in New York. Unfortunately it's in their 'style' section, and is full of the usual gumpf about SS and fixed bikes being the "steeds of the moment" and some nonsense about fixed wheels "not for the faint hearted", but it's an article nonetheless.

Makes me wonder though - from what I gather, the traditional Men's Health demographic are either gym-goers who are perhaps a little more intelligent than your average meathead, and your aspirational executive type who wouldn't ride a bike as it would mess up their Paul Smith suit - so I can't work out why they've featured SS and fixed to begin with. They just don't seem the 'type' to rush out an spend the time either building up a bike, or even getting an OTP.

you bought it.
ask AFDS...he loves looking at men.

It's something to fill the pages with.

not that long ago Men's Health sponsored a professional cycling team.

You're forgetting all the younger gym junkies that buy into that shit. They'd be all over fixes if it wasn't for the fact that they're too busy dealing with anal leakage from creatine dosing.

you bought it.

Good point - though in my defence I'm training for the FLM through a double ankle injury and needed to find something I can do to stay active (apart from the obvious).

Having read the magazine now though, I feel like I've just sat through a 5hr commercial break.

it took you 5 hours to read it?

maybe you should go back to ladybird books.

Ok, now I know what to cut out of my diet...thanks.

They're not that bright, otherwise they'd notice that its the same three articles about how to get a flat stomach, how to increase stamina, and something about sports injuries, just rehashed over and over.

sad twats. one girl who has a London-based boyfriend into FG and doesn't understand the pleasure he's getting from it. Join the queue; just don't decide you'll use the little section you've been allowed to edit in the magazine you work for to vent your puzzlement - 99 % of the women reading it won't have a clue what you're on about.

What a stupid egocentric approach to a job. The world doesn't revolve around you, or London, or Elle magazine. Go back to the Woolworths checkout that spawned you. You have no journalistic potential whatsoever and you would be making a far more significant contribution to society helping old ladies to weigh out their weekly supply of chocolate limes.
