The editor for Bicycling South Africa, Mike Finch, plans to make their brand globally consistent, by looking at franchises like Australia. In April 2013, Bicycling sported a new logo, with a new format, and 16 extra pages. The new logo equates to the logo used by its US international partner, Rodale Inc. The April issue had on the cover, Patrick Dempsey – a passionate cyclist and star of the hit series Grey’s Anatomy. Incidentally, it coincided with the 10th year anniversary of being South Africa’s leading cycling magazine.
