UK cycling mags deconstructed

I like withering put-downs and saracasm, provided they are justified.
You're probably picking on easy targets but IMHO the criticisms are valid and there's even some real humour so I will check back at intervals.
Scrolled down to read a withering - but sadly accurate - review of Cycling Active. I've bought every edition since mag no. 2 or 3, but it seems to have abandoned its clear niche and gone all Cycling Plus or something. Simon Warren's column and the other bloke's are the only real improvements on the original format.
