Default Biking mags

Since I got back into biking I have become a reasonably avid reader of the biking magazines. What's your favourite and why? What can't you stand (and why)? Or are you too busy riding?

Bike is usually the most consistant IMO, a good read about biking stuff, and it's not just packed with readers wives and such like.

When buying a bike mag, I like a mag about bikes.

I used to be a big fan of RiDE but it's turned garbage recently. Don't bother buying it, never mind reading it.

I've got a subscription to TWO mag.... only cos i got a free lid for signing up.
Mag itself is turning out to be pretty dull tho. Januarys one arrived yesterday and i havnt even unwrapped it out the plastic yet. First couple i'd open and read in about a week.

I blame EMAP pesonally, lots of rehashed articles and pictures from one of their publications to another, very

My favourite is TWO, but MCSL is very good and I do enjoy Streetfighters now and then.

I'll second that - ever since that BMW-riding Stefan guy took over, it's turned to poo. Shame.

Bike can be good sometimes (issue before last) but other times (last issue) it's jank. Same with PB and TWO - depends what's in the issue.

Used to subscribe to Ride but cancelled that, now just look at Bike when the guy I work with gets it. Or browse them all in the great magazine library that is WHSmith.

i am the kinda guy to read a mag from cover to cover,

so its gotta be bike (cos its bigger and better)

got subscriptions to bike and TWO,
was a bit disapointed with TWO to be honest, and it only seems to take me a day or 2 to read the whole of RIDE.
