I hadn't thoguht to have a sniff, barely registers over my base smell of blood and snotters.

There is quite a distinct and for me unpleasant smell when opening the magazine. It seems to come from the pages not the cover. But it soon evaporates and is far from the worst of unpleasant smells. TBH it's far from unique in magazines either, lots of them have that smell, it must be a result of the printing process.

. . . and while I'm ranting - why does Arrivee smell so awful? - I have a couple of other mag subscriptions and they don't smell. [I know that printing is all now namby-pamby water-based inks rather than the proper stuff tey used when i started out working in the printing industry]

I complained about the smell when Kim showed me a copy of it earlier today. It's rank!

Audax in a nutshell.

Didn't notice any smells, but please leave the photos alone in the next issue?

The June issue should be landing now... Mine has not arrived but I know that some have. Apologies for the delay but the editor was on holiday, so it went to press later than normal.

Got mine this morning thanks

Will's Bristol Glasgow Bristol is a bucket list ride for me - but only as a tourist option: Every write up is brutal!

Mine arrived today too. Not the standard cycling magazine cover

I appear to be regarding the fatbaw thing with deep suspicion in the bottom photie...

Looks like a bumper issue!
New graphics.
An article by a woman named Jeffery has reinforced need to give pronouns (for which I've been too lazy so far.)

At work everyone is now referred as they by default, I am one of the few that still use he and she… I almost make a point of it…

Loving the cover photo. Very unusual.

robgul · « **Reply #2888 on:** 11 December, 2022, 01:54:32 pm »

Magazine smells again - must be something to do with the greater coverage of ink with the, to me, total over-use of graphics . . .

MikeFromLFE · « **Reply #2889 on:** 11 December, 2022, 10:46:43 pm »

The quality of the photos is excellent and seems to improve with every issue.

hellymedic · « **Reply #2890 on:** 12 December, 2022, 01:24:38 am »

Certainly HUGE progress since the grainy black and white pics in the A5 Arrivée of the 1990's…
Photography and peinting have come a long way!

I expect it will arrive in due course with several more days post all at once at some time in the next month or so.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #2892 on:** 12 December, 2022, 12:15:07 pm »

I'm pretty sure Wowbagger is not in AUK, so I really hope one of the ACME boys shows him the photo on p6.

My kind and cheerful postman popped mine through to flap today (NYE).
Editorial theme: bicycle theft and its discouragement.
What does Ged mean by a "axle pin" (remove from front wheel)? Is this a 'thru axle' thingy? Or a QR skewer? I wonder what proportion of AudaxUK membership ride bikes with thru axles, btw?
The trouble with disabling "hacks" is those of us of a forgetting tendency fall foul of eg pulling the chain off the ring.
Apparently "e-bikes are high-value items . . .[and] easily stolen".

And the first issue of 2023 is out! If you don't get yours in the next few days (value of few depending on how good your postal service is usually) then let me know via membership@audax.uk

aidan.f · « **Reply #2895 on:** 09 March, 2023, 07:55:39 pm »

Some really nice well written articles in this edition, 'no cyclist is an island' by James Bradbury was especially thought provoking.

hellymedic · « **Reply #2896 on:** 09 March, 2023, 08:36:40 pm »

Mine has arrived but I've not looked yet.

FifeingEejit · « **Reply #2897 on:** 09 March, 2023, 09:17:47 pm »

I can smell mine this time.

Does it smell of audax ?

No.
That smells of blood and snotters.
