Should ABR have Babes on Bikes?

[Alun]

What about it, should we organise a photo shoot up the Orinoco and a pose down in Patagonia? What do you think ABR should never do? Or should we never say never?

[Nomad]

Not for me but I am not opposed to it just don't buy bike mags to look at tits - thats what skin mags are for...

[Alun]

By the way, perhaps I should just clarify...there are no plans to feature anything more alluring than middle aged spread in ABR

''Babes on bikes''..Please god no..ABR is a magazine for those of us that have grown up and have risen above the infantile 'title tattle'that pervades our everyday existence,

I personally gave up watching,listening,and reading the ''info'' provided by the (controlled)media a long time ago..ABR is a welcome breath of fresh air..please keep it that way..travel articles and advice provide a means of breaking out of the humdrum life that the majority of the population live through

Travel broadens the mind..it gives me something to look forward to..Keep up the high standards please Alun

Oh my fingers have been itching to type a response!!! I agree with Nomad and Brevav2...the focus is Adventure, Bike and Rider(s)

I'm surprised (I shouldn't be at my age now!!), but I am at the number of magazine covers showing scantily clad women/girls...and the magazine is selling or promoting gadets...I think you know which ones I'm talking about!

I think if you start to introduce half naked women on backs of bikes with tenuous links to 'Adventure, Bike and Rider(s)', you may offend a few people, alienate others and drop standards like other magazines have done.

This is my personal opinion only. I do liken this topic to the Ewan and Charley Thread...to reach the masses, a lot of compromises had to be made with the programme (many of which have been discussed this morning)...will ABR compromise what it is all about to do the same?

Babes on bikes.....YES......covered in mud

[Ad_Lad]

what about some arty shots, bring it right up market with some top heavy lovelys tighening nuts with their spanners. Ding dong!!

Articles about babes on bikes would be good...

Lois, Elspeth, Tiffany, Birgit....


Should be enough to be going on with.

Maybe a top shelf area in the forum..But not in the mag !!!

Although, there are plenty of Germans on the road and they love being naked !! Sadly it's usually the older dudes in their thonged speedos around the hostel lol
