Willehond Posted June 26, 2007 Share I was quite surprised to read my brand new Bicycling magazine and find that their Tour de France guide permanently refers to the group of riders as the 'peleton'! Last time I checked it was spelt peloton! Maybe their spellchecker had the day off or that really is the Sarf Efrikin spelling? You don't expect that from a BICYCLING magazine? Am I confused or is there something else wrong here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted June 26, 2007 Share Maybe it's the American spelling. All the articles come from there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted June 26, 2007 Share a couple of years ago, i did a bit of proof-reading for ride mag - when sean was still the ed - and i made a whole whack of corrections on nearly every page. i remember the designer coming in, giving me this crazy look and saying: "that's too many things for me to fix!" so she didn't ?
