A "plus" to the current bike-review format in BQ is that I have some sense of the preferences and standards of the current reviewers (Jan and a few sidekicks to write the "second view" part of the review). If BQ were opened up to reviews from "guest-reviewers" then it would be harder to know how to interpret those reviews. Even a "weak" issue of BQ is better than the typical issue of Bicycling Magazine (hmm, is it a coincidence that the initials are BM?) with its typical series of articles on How to Train for a Century, How to Lose Another Five Pounds, Adventures of Someone Who Doesn't Ride a Bike Very Much, and Reviews of Another Five Carbon Fiber Wonderbikes and the Latest N- Speed Drivetrain.
