- davidw 2y agoCycling journalism doesn't pay well and has suffered in recent years. Escape Collective is a group trying to 'go their own way' to provide high quality reporting on their own terms. So it makes sense for them to paywall it; it's not meant for a broader audience, but people who want a lot of high quality bike news. https://escapecollective.com/about-us/ https://escapecollective.com/about-us/
