Nokka Posted October 11, 2020 Share For all the Boertjies out there (the Souties are welcome as well, we like you all) - Wat sou julle sê van 'n nuwe Afrikaanse fietstydskrif? Maar 'n tydskrif met 'n verskil. Geen fun ride trip reports, of Get Lean Now, of 'So oefen jy vir jou beste Argus ooit' nie. Wat van artikels oor bikepacking. Om jou fiets as 'n enabler vir jou stokperdjie te gebruik. Daardie naweek wegbreek met jou vriende. Fiets, gear, en jul eie roete. In die Sederberge, of 'n mini-toer deur die Richtersveld. Dalk wil julle een van die nuwe avontuurrenne in Europa gaan doen. Of vir die TransAlp inskryf. Jy, jou buddies, en 'n life time trip in Italië se Dolomites (daar gaan die gesin se Hartenbos vakansie). Ons eerste uitgawe print hierdie week. Gaan soek vir die nuwe! amazing! ToerFiets by jou naaste fietswinkel of Exclusives, regoor die land. Enigiets van November af. Hy gaan nie goedkoop wees nie. Maar hoeveel kos jou carbon fiets? Jou Cape Epic entry? Ek het die beste content gesource, van plaaslike en oorsese skrywers. Foto's van Europa se beste fotograwe aangekoop. Dis duur. Jy betaal vir gehalte. Vir die eerste uitgawe het ons interviews met Jenny Tough (sy't in Feb die Atlas Mountain Race gewen), Riaan Manser en Dave Mercer die fietsbouer. Daar is gear guides, 'n full on fiets-toets, plaaslike wegbreke met detail roetekaarte (Karkloof en Sederberge). En die dream escapes - Slowenië en Kreta. Ek hoop julle geniet ons inhoud, en die seleksie wat ons gemaak het. Koop hom. Vertel jou buddies om hom te koop. En gee terugvoer waarvan julle hou, en waarvan jy meer sou van wou lees. Laat daai speke sing. mikkelz, henningvr, Frosty and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted October 11, 2020 Share Lyk goed! Kan nie glo mense is nog so dapper om tydskrifte te begin nie. Alles vd beste! arendoog, T_Boss, Lexx and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted October 11, 2020 Share As dit van die kwaliteit is waarvoor Weg bekend geword het, dan raai ek dit gaan suksesvol wees! Voorspoed. bobby, Nokka and BSG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerulez Posted October 11, 2020 Share Ek hoor al die opskrifte in die voetspore man se stem, en ek wonder hoe print media nog lewe. Ek hoop dit is n suskses want persoonlik is ek gatvol om alles online te consume. MBMtbGirl, bobby, BSG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted October 11, 2020 Share As dit slegs in afrikaans is sou ek dit dalk oorweeg, maar as dit in die taal geskryf is waar mens wonder of jy Engels of Afrikaans lees dan stel ek nie belang nie. Ek hoop regtig nie dat die tydskrif geskryf is in dieselfde styl wat dit hier bekendgestel word nie.

Ek het nog altyd van Weg se tydskrifte gehou, so ek sal hom gaan soek. Edited October 12, 2020 by PhilipV BSG, DJR and Nokka 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted October 12, 2020 Share Good luck, very brave move to launch in print. I have to wonder though, are you/they not limiting the audience by being Afrikaans only ? TheKaiser, daveno7, Eddy Gordo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted October 12, 2020 Share Good luck, very brave move to launch in print. I have to wonder though, are you/they not limiting the audience by being Afrikaans only ? It belongs to Weg, and the way they have done it in the past was to launch an Afrikaans version, because that is their base, and it it is successful, they launch an English version also (Go). They have done that with the original Weg as well as the smaller more specialized ones like caravanning. They are a very sharp lot who launched Weg at a time nobody else saw a future for it and they made it work. Their formula of inspiration, pictures, text, stories and facts make for a good recipe. They are also not too overloaded with advertising, something that puts other magazines at the mercy of advertisers rather than readers. Many of their readers are subscribers and extremely loyal.

Edwill van Aarde sou jaloers wees. Ek kan my nie indink wat 'n dropper post op Afrikaans sou wees nie. Om die waarheid te se, wat op aarde is bibshorts? Shock? Derailleur? Shifter? Stem? Genade, my fietse is Engels! Nokka, Pieterlab1, BSG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokka Posted October 12, 2020 Share Good luck, very brave move to launch in print. I have to wonder though, are you/they not limiting the audience by being Afrikaans only ? We did discuss this. I think more than half of SA's cyclists are actually Afrikaans, and high LSM's. It's an untapped and under appreciated market. But as mentioned elsewhere, if there is a good uptake, we can do both versions. Really excited to see how the market react to this. I think it's the first Afrikaans cycling magazine ever! nickc and Danger Dassie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
