A bit Bicycling but not that much anymore as they tend to always cater for the novice.

Repeat there stories abd carry tips on how to get fit & strong with not much training all the time.

[Lurch the stalker]

I read Tread, a good MTB specific magazine

[RockCoach]

Only read Tread mag.

 

[ruib]

I buy all 3 the main ones,enjoy the "Bicyling" best.I bought the one from the UK for R140.00 , did not enjoy it at all.

[DieVlieg]

Bicycling should be free. With the amount of advertising under guize of gear reviews and sometimes conflicting and sometimes repeated training tips. Articles lack depth. I sometimes read an article and then are left hanging, thinking there is a page missing.

 

Tread is decent.

 

In general

 

I'd like to see more coverage of local races and riders and somewhat trails (propper trail coverage) and gear articles. We also love statistics. Also a permanent race calendar in every issue please. Once a year calendars do not work.

 

Lose the lose fat fast articles. If you give advice put it in perspective and or categories it between novice and pro. What works for the pro's wont work for the weekend warrior. You will rather stuff him up for good.

 

 

If I read a magazine 4 issues in a row it sometimes feel like I have read everything twice.

[Spinnekop]

None. Everything is on the web for free. And you get DAILY articles and ideas and new product news etc. Free.

[scotty]

Full Suss, accessible by webs and free as a hard copy at most bike shops.

[Shebeen]

Go multi is no longer in paper format AFAIK.

 

I read full sus.

 

my tread and bicycling subscriptions have expired

Vote added for ride....my favourite

[Patchelicious]

I buy all the ones I can get... so all of the above. If CNA has those imported one, them too sommer. CyclingFitness is a great read.

[Selous Scout (aka LegTrap)]

I read each of the top 3 on your list but not each one every issue.I enjoy Tread magazine the best but the other's can also have some good articles.

neither...information is gleamed from online sources...how about adding google as an option

Agreed, but a mag is more "comfortable" when reading on the bog.

Agreed, but a mag is more "comfortable" when reading on the bog.
