On a tangential note, I noticed that the last few issues of Bicycling magazine (paper copy) have made a concerted effort to bring some different stories to their publication than their standard. I will say that the last issues featured some really compelling articles and was one of their few I’ve read cover to cover. The reality is that not every cyclist is a Pinarello riding weight weenie that is only interested in UCI races or the best high end gear. I hope Bicycling continues this focus on bringing real, interesting, and diverse articles into their mainstream publication. [reference, the last Bicycling magazine featured an article on a very talented indigenous cyclist who discussed some of the controversy around the ride name]
I agree. I’ve found some of Bicycling’s recent content to be far more interesting.
Alexandera Houchin, who I believe was the cyclist in the article you referenced, recently posted a more detailed opinion on the name “Dirty Kanza” on The Radavist:

More tangential, Peter Flax’s article on Leo Rodgers, and the video that accompanied it, were excellent.
