Cycling Weekly Letter of the Week: Priceless

[ColinJ]

Whats the follow up?

On the basis that I think that letters to a magazine are intended by their authors to be in the public domain, I assume that CW does not have the copyright to them, so here they are ...

(Shaun, if you are worried about it - just delete the pictures!)

(Sorry for the blurred images - they are photos taken with a wobbly handheld camera, not scans)

Rob Hayles has just retired and CW have done a special feature on his career so it is worth getting a copy of this week's mag for that alone. There is also a big review of winter cycling kit.

Beat me to the scan.

I was waiting until I received email permission from the editor to reproduce the original letter. The editorial assistant granted permission today.

Great letters!

It gets better.

This week CW publishes several outraged letters from readers who clearly have taken the bait, hook, line and sinker!

Amazing, isn't it - the three correspondents in question are really, really cross!

(And before anybody asks for copies of those letters too - I reckon you should do the decent thing and start buying your own copies of CW! )

I was buying CW regularly until I realised I was spending loads on these and the C+ instalments. After a while most of the content gets regurgitated but the major irk was with the 'become a climbing colossus' only to find a page on what you already knew!

Your quite right though Colin, I will no doubt cave in and go through another fad of regular purchases.

Anyway, if you can imagine someone taking those two spoof letters seriously and getting irate about them, that's what the replies are like. Total sense of humour failure ...

Sales are flagging, let's spoof and see if the cycling forums pick up on it to help boost circulation for a bit.......
