This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Cycling Weekly''''' is the world's oldest cycling publication. It is both a weekly [[cycling magazine]] and a news, features and buying advice website [http://www.cyclingweekly.com]. It is published by [[Future plc|Future]].  It used to be affectionately referred to by British club cyclists as "The Comic".<ref name="The Comic">[https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2006/nov/23/lifeandhealth.ethicalmoney Matt Seaton: The Meeting of Minds], Guardian, 23 November 2006.</ref>

==History==
''Cycling Weekly'' was first published by [[Edmund Dangerfield]] as ''Cycling'' on 24 January 1891.<ref>((cite news|last=Bingham|first=Keith|title=How Cycling Weekly began: Dangerfield's penny paper founded a press empire|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest/448830/how-cycling-weekly-began-dangerfield-s-penny-paper-founded-a-press-empire.html|work=Cycling Weekly|publisher=[[IPC Media]]|access-date=19 April 2013|location=London|date=31 March 2010))</ref> It briefly became ''Cycling and Moting'' in the 19th century when car-driving – "moting" – looked like it would replace cycling. Falling sales during the editorship of H.H. (Harry) England, who took what was considered to be a traditional view of cycling and opposed the reintroduction of massed racing on the roads as proposed by the [[British League of Racing Cyclists]], led to the appearance in the 1950s of a rival weekly called ''The Bicycle'' and of a monthly entitled first ''Coureur'' and then ''[[Sporting Cyclist]]''. Both eventually merged with ''Cycling''.

The title has changed hands on several occasions. It was first published by the Dangerfield Printing Company (1891–1894), then [[Temple Press]] (1895–1964), Go Magazine (1964–1967) and Longacre Press (1967–1970) before being published by its next owner IPC Magazines (later known as [[TI Media]]) from 1970 to 2020.

The magazine's longest-lasting contribution to the sport was the creation on 4 April 1930 of the [[British Best All-Rounder]] (BBAR) competition for [[individual time trial]]lists, establishing the rider the magazine considered the best against the clock by averaging competitors' speeds over 50 and 100 miles and 12 hours. It offered a trophy to the winner each year and a shield for the winning team.<ref name="Alpaca">''Alpaca to Skinsuit'', Bernard Thompson, Geerings of Ashford</ref>

In 1932 ''Cycling'' also introduced the ''[[Golden Book of Cycling]]''. Each page honoured a cycling hero. The first was [[Frank Southall]], who had won that year's BBAR competition and signed his page before 7,000 cyclists attending the BBAR prize-giving at the [[Royal Albert Hall]], London.<ref name="Alpaca"/> The book has fallen out of fashion in recent years.

==Early campaigns==
The magazine was aware from the start of the danger it perceived cyclists to be in from the growing number of cars<ref>Cycling, 4 July 1912, p7</ref> and trams.<ref>Cycling, 4 July 1912, p20</ref> The magazine did not care for insistence that cyclists display a back light, which it felt moved responsibility for avoiding an accident from the overtaking driver to the cyclist being overtaken. But it had other puzzles to consider, following the prosecution of a cyclist who had hung a Chinese lantern from his machine.<ref>Cycling, 11 July 1912, p27</ref>

''Cycling'' campaigned against women's racing and refused to publish results and then, in the 1940s, stood out against the [[British League of Racing Cyclists]] in its campaign to reintroduce massed racing to open roads. It called the organisation's first race "A hopeless revolt."<ref>Breckon, Mike (ed) (1993), A Wheel in Two Worlds, privately published, UK, p276</ref>

==The modern magazine==
Looking for more sales and advertisers in June 1957, ''Cycling'' introduced pages dedicated to [[moped]]s and the magazine changed its name to ''Cycling & Mopeds''.<ref>Cycling, UK, 6 June 1957, p435</ref> The move accelerated the decline in sales until, under the insistence of a new editor, Alan Gayfer, mopeds were abandoned and the magazine widened its outlook to all forms of racing on the road, on the [[track cycling|track]], to [[cyclo-cross]] and to cycle-touring. Among those taken on by Gayfer and who have remained in cycling journalism are the television commentator [[Phil Liggett]] and the author Les Woodland.

Alan Gayfer left ''Cycling'' in 1969 to work for the United Press news agency on the other side of [[Fleet Street]], London, where ''Cycling'' then had its offices. There he could also report his other love: [[boxing]]. He died of a heart attack while cycling in Canada after retirement. Gayfer was succeeded by Ken Evans, whose interest in short-distance time-trialling led to a parallel competition to the British Best All-Rounder: the [[Campagnolo]] Trophy for races over 25 miles (40&nbsp;km). It lasted only two seasons before it was considered not worth the effort and expense.<ref name="Alpaca"/> Evans resigned to work with the components wholesaler, Ron Kitching.<ref>cited Breckon, Michael (1993), A Wheel in two Worlds, the Ron Kitching Story, p227</ref> Evans was replaced by Martin Ayres. He in turn was followed by Andrew Sutcliffe, who had been editor of ''Cycle Trader''. Under Sutcliffe the magazine took on a stronger pictorial content and reporting of domestic cycling, especially where it didn't concern racing, was lessened in favour of coverage of continental racing. Sutcliffe left to help form a company called Cabal Communications, run by other former IPC staff. Cabal introduced a monthly magazine called ''[[Procycling]]'' as a rival to IPC's own monthly publication, ''Cycle Sport''. Its first editor was William Fotheringham, who had also been on IPC's staff. Sutcliffe's replacement was Robert Garbutt, who was editor until 2015 when current editor Simon Richardson was promoted from deputy editor. Significant members of staff have included Sid Saltmarsh – deputy editor under Alan Gayfer – who worked formerly for the ''News Chronicle'' and the BBC and who was reporting the [[Tour de France]] when the English rider [[Tom Simpson]] died during the race in 1967. Recent columnists have included [[Tony Bell (journalist)|Tony Bell]], and [[Michael Hutchinson (cyclist)|Michael Hutchinson]].

The magazine has hosted the work of what are believed to be two of the longest-serving contributors in publishing history. Frank Patterson was an illustrator whose impeccable drawings first appeared in a November issue in 1893.  His last illustration appeared in 1952. Patterson was known for his meticulous treatment of the bicycle, especially the elusive ellipses, and his ability to capture different species of trees. It was said a Patterson Oak could never be mistaken for an Elm. His pen of choice was a Gillott 303. Patterson's length of service was eventually beaten by cartoonist Johnny Helms who had a simple, but unmistakable style. His cartoons were a regular fixture of the magazine from 6 February 1946 until his death in November 2009 and perfectly captured the idiosyncrasies of British club life, especially time trialling, a cyclists domestic life and his infamous cyclist-hating dog.

In 2020, ''Cycling Weekly'' owner TI Media was acquired by Future plc, adding a title to Future's cycling division together with [[CyclingNews.com]] and former rival ''Procycling'' (which Future had reacquired from [[Immediate Media]] a year earlier after selling them in 2014). Procycling magazine was closed in early 2022.

==Controversy==

In September 2017, Cycling Weekly were forced to apologize for a caption on an image in an edition of the magazine that read "'''token attractive woman'''" above an image of Hannah Noel, who is a female member of the Hinckley Cycling Race Club which is located in Leicester, England.  The caption was noticed by fellow Hinckley Cycling member Carlos Fandango who tweeted it in a photo along with a request for an apology.

"''So my cycling club made it into @cyclingweekly and this happened. I hope @cyclingweekly apologise. Still a lot of equality work to do it''."

Hannah took to Facebook and posted;

"''I made it into Cycling Weekly, it seems not for my ability as a female cyclist but as a 'token attractive woman' – I'm absolutely gutted and disappointed in the magazine''," Noel wrote on Facebook (via the Telegraph)."''It's not really the reason I'd want to be in a magazine, it's sexist and derogatory to female cyclists.''"

Cycling Weekly editor Simon Richardson stated that the caption was an error and blamed a sub-editor for its inclusion. The apology read:

"''Unfortunately during the magazine's production process a member of the sub-editing team decided to write an idiotic caption on a photo of one of the female members of the club''".

"''The caption is neither funny nor representative of the way we feel or approach our work"''.

"''We would like to apologies unreservedly to the rider in the photograph. This appalling lack of judgement by an individual is just that, and not a reflection of the culture in the CW office''."

Fandango's tweet and Cycling Weekly's apology prompted hundreds of angry responses, many that blamed a culture of sexism within the sport.
