ROUNDUP

John Burns joins CW

After months—nay, years—of buying John Burns lunch all the time, we finally decided to give him a corporate credit card and make him do the deed for us once in a while. That's right, the man who has been wandering the Earth to do great stories for Cycle World has joined the staff as full-time Feature Editor. John recently resurrected a crashed 2000 Yamaha YZF-R1 as a budget streetfighter (look for a piece—and we mean piece!—in an upcoming issue) just in time for us to hand him the key to a Brammo Enertia. Welcome, JB. Now get to work! Perhaps a spot of lunch first? In all seriousness, we are stoked to have him on board and look forward to great things from him in these pages and on www.cycleworld.com.

Attention Digital Junkies!

The Cycle World iPhone/iPod Touch app has been live since late last year, and we've gotten excellent feedback. If you haven't seen it, we're talking about an application that downloads to your Apple handheld and al lows you to read many CW stories wherever there is network coverage. After a successful start, we've made several major changes to improve usability and make the mobile digital experience even better. Foremost is that updates-taken both from these print pages and wwwcycleworld. corn-are now daily, and content now incorporates our Twitter feed (www twitter. corn/Cycle WoridMag) for the latest news. Navigation has also been improved, most photos can be zoomed and more. Visit the app store to download your free copy. You can also find us on Facebook by search ing for Cycle World Magazine, or go direct to www.cycleworld.com for links.
