I'm quite sure it doesn't have enough diversity to suit Kevan, though.

Complaining about the lack of non-white faces in a bicycling related
magazine makes as much sense as complaining about the same problem in a
NASCAR magazine. Cycling is a sport/activity that blacks and Latinos, for
the most part, do not do. There aren't a lot of black faces in Surfer or
Thrasher, either. You really should lighten up, Kev.

What an ignorant thing to say. I see plenty of blacks and latinos riding bikes
every day. They ain't wearing spandex and HRMs, though, so I guess they aren't
"real cyclists" to you. I suspect what you _really_ mean is that blacks and
latinos can't afford _your_level of cycling snobbery.
