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
