Zinn is the only worthwhile contributor.
I disagree on both counts ...
It used to be a good magazine many, many years back - back when it was printed on newsprint and came out more frequently. In those days it was actually a rival for Winning and Cycling Weekly ... And yes, I am talking that far back ... But I agree that it has been crap for absolutely ages since ...
As for Zinn - sometimes he's worth reading ... but most of the time I find he favours overly technical "solutions" so that he's dropped a long way in my estimations. Cases in point are his recommendations for threading gear cables into Campag Ergo levers and his articles on beating cross bike fork shudder. In saying this, I'm sure that he's a better mechanic than I am - but I just think that over time he's fallen into a typical techie's trap of overlooking easy and effective low tech solutions ...
