Jim Thill is right to recognize the nature of peer review in BQ. It is unique in what seems to me to be a general and a popular cycling journal. May it's circulation increase! Peer review doesn't really exist in advertising supported publications. I love the ads in BQ, but I love the riding and knowing and the (mostly online for me) community that is growing around the kind of cycling. I ride alone; that's just Phoenix and my busy schedule. But I ride with a much larger group than I could otherwise because of BQ, Rivendell, and all the articulate writers and fine photographers out there! The RR is/was as much fun as BQ, but so different! ¡Vive la diffèrence!
