[Leica] OT: artsy - legit or just spammers?

[Nathan Wajsman]

I have both the paper and electronic subscription, and they sent me the new 1843 magazine too, I just have not gotten around to opening it yet.
As for cycling, I am indeed a certified MAMIL and proud of it. But my bikes are not that expensive, they are all between 1000 and 1800 EUR. And I only have three here, plus one in Denmark. To put the expenses in perspective: I quit smoking 7 years ago this month. The amount of money I save each year by not buying the daily pack of fags more than pays for one new bike a year. So I tell my wife that I am still 3 bikes behind ;-)

Cheers,
Nathan

Had a quick look, and I was nearly put off by the face of that studied ingenue Boris Johnson, but also noticed this https://www.1843magazine.com/features/the-long-and-winding-road which should appeal to Nathan as it's about cycling which appeals to the same demographic as cameras do. There is bikeporn too, similar to cameraporn and the inevitable gear acquisition syndrome as you continually search for more and more expensive, but ever lighter and lighter bicycles. All of which is justified by the need to get up an imaginary alp, but allow the indulgence of a well made Creme Brulee and a couple of glasses of a good Sauterne....
