hey ladies
i'm starting a bike-related mag, and i've recently been making baby steps to try to achieve this. done website, got some contributers lined up, tonnes of ideas for features, have looked into the printing, and i have some very special ideas that i cannot disclose in such a public domain.
the mag is called CogNitive magazine (for the thinking rider), and it'll be a bike culture magazine based around fixed gear. the mag will include as many types of bike as necessary for each issue, but primarily will be of the fixed gear variety with no geared bikes (bar polo bikes). i plan to include bits and pieces centred also around bmx, downhill biking and polo. think Landscape magazine meets Fixed meets Cooler. of course i'll include all the art, culture and people at the heart of modern city riding. it's very important that there is an implicit focus on women and their bikes, which i hope will be acheived by having as many women on the editorial team as possible, and by my other idea, which i cannot say publically.
to be involved, you just need to be truly passionate about riding your bike, and about keeping the beauty of printed media alive. and willing to do this for free without being paid! it's a hobby... hopefully i can assign you one of the following roles and we can all meet up and chat over tea and bonbons:
publisher (urgently needed )
advertising
design editor inc photography (urgently needed)
distribution
contributers
at the moment, i am trying to cover all bases, but eventually my role would be
editor in chief and also fashion editor. if only a couple of people want to get involved, we could split the primary roles between us anyway. i really want to do this well, and create a beautiful magazine.
lets chat :)
