After serving as the industry’s weekly racing newspaper for nearly half a century, Cycle News published its final issue this week. The blogosphere has been all a-twitter about the demise of this much-loved publication, most notably former editor Paul Carruthers, who was let go from the pub just a week before shuttering, editorialized on the mag’s closing writing, "So as I sit here this morning and struggle with the loss of a
friend, I know there are several others out there who are feeling the
same. No matter how their time at Cycle News ended, and a lot
ended badly, the little weekly motorcycle publication that could
probably remains a bigger part of their lives than they may want to
admit to. It’s gone now, but it will never be forgotten."
