I just wanted to tell you folks how much I appreciate your magazine.  I have been riding bikes and reading bike mags for quite a long time now, and I think yours is the best.

I especially appreciate your bike reviews.  They are clear, remarkably unbiased, and filled with meaningful information.  Your magazine provides a reader the kind of information needed to help make an informed decision.

I was recently in the market for a new bike, so I went out and bought all the mags with reviews on the bikes in which I was interested.  I also dug out all my old issues, and searched the internet for information.

I was amazed at how much misinformation your competitors published. My favorite, was the mag that criticized a belt-driven bike's shaft drive.

Many times, it was unclear whether the tester was referring to bike "A", "B", "C".  Or if the comment was a criticism, praise, or merely an observation.

Then I read your magazine, and it was immediately  apparant which bike would best suit me.  I went out and bought that bike, and I could not be happier!

My only complaint, is, "Why in Hell did I spend the money and time on the other mags, when all I had to do, was read yours?"

Seriously folks, keep up the good work - we need you.
