Brooks Saddles

Like most long distance cyclists I use Brooks saddles which, after the first 200 excruciating miles, are incredibly comfortable. Each month or so I receive an email from Brooks called the Brooks Despatch which is a professionaly produced newsletter. It's always a pleasure to receive and read this email, unlike the self-serving spam I receive from most other companies. Like Brooks' equipment, the email is restrained, dignified, and has an air of quality about it rarely found these days.

Brooks also publishes an annual magazine online, the fourth edition of which is now available. They are also sponsoring an attempt to beat the record for cycling around the world and are involved in many other interesting cycling events. This is a good company.

For an example of the kind of material the Brooks Despatch provides access to, checkout this writeup of L'Eroica ride in Tuscany.
