Hi Joe
Many thanks for your feedback. I’m truly glad you enjoyed our first edition
and hope that you’ll continue to enjoy Modern Cyclist.
Thank you too for your suggestions. We’ll certainly be tackling those two
issues in months to come.
Our friendly mechanic - The Bike Whisperer - will be looking into a few
maintenance “tips” as the months go by. He has already introduced
himself (September) and given us tips on how to get our bikes race ready
(October).
This month, he tackles the often thorny issue of why we should service our
bikes regularly.
An article on power meters is an excellent idea and I approached Nic
and Diane White to research and write this interesting article for us. Nic is
a cyclist, through and through, having rode at elite level for many years
and his wife Diane is a professional cyclist trainer, so both are well suited
to giving us the low down on power meters. Barring another earth quake,
this article should go in our December issue so please ensure you have
registered to receive our digi mag, that way you know you’ll read it.
