Wouldn't it be fun to read of proof that Consumer reports has been in bed with Toyota all along?

Back on topic though, I feel that gear reviews are not near as biased as bike reviews. There are just too many factors regarding bike reviews that make them impossibly unreliable and unbiased. I look back on old RoadBikeAction magazine reviews of bikes I used to lust after and reading them now is almost comical. You can cut and paste all the superlatives and apply them to almost any of the reviews.

You want to know which hiking boots are best? Go to Yellowstone or Yosemite and ask some of the backcountry guides. Those guys aren't paid to wear the gear they use (Usually) and they will tell you straight up what works.
