Jonathon Boyer Bicycling article

[gbdave]

First I must admit to being a huge non-fan of Bicycling. That said I found myself flipping through an issue at the grocery store today and read the article on the first American in the tour.

Pretty intense and really engrossing I thought. Anybody read this also? First thing I've read in Bicycling that I remember making me think. Is the magazine getting better (gasp). Or was this a rarity?

Yes, the article was pretty "raw" compared to the typical sanitized blather that comes out of that magazine, especially with respect to Boyer's previous criminal conviction.

Yea .... amazing article. Soul searching perspective on life.

Was a really good article, I too hope Bicycling is headed in a new direction the indications are there but I'm not holding my breath, I miss the old Bicycle Guide

First time I ever handed Bicycling Mag to my wife to get her perspective on an article. First Style Man is gone and now this. Maybe the new editor is having an impact...

yes I'd like to know what the full story is also. If that was true I'd want him rotting in a hole of a prison with the boys using his a$$ like a clown car.

No excuses for Boyer, but an illuminating story of redemption.

The article was well written and takes pains to give as broad a picture as possible. The link above basically describes the criminal behavior that he'll be know for for the rest of his life.
There is more to his story. (and I don't mean his side of the story with regard to what happened with the girl)
If you can't locate an online copy, let me know. I'll mail or fax you one.

I read the article.

Sorry he can pray and drink tea til the cows come home for redemption , but he's still a child molester plain and simple. To me the two worst crimes to humanity are against children and pets.

This was a good article. I find plenty of good stuff each month in Bicycling, and it does seem to be getting much better lately.
