Bike Mag

[Willow]

Are there any bike mags suitable for the non expert looking for few reviews, bit of maintenance, general stuff but not pages and pages of tour de france etc. Most my cycling is commuting though getting boys into it and do a few trials outside of the football/rugby season!

C+ is a generic mag that suffers from being master at nothing. It includes everthing from commuting, racing to leisure. I subscribe, and most of the content is interesting.

Yeah, Cycling Plus is the place to start. Just don't get sucked into subscribing for longer than a year.

Have you tried Cycling Weekly? (probably more race/fitness focused, but worth a go?)

 

[dodgy]

I'd have thought Cycling Weekly would have lots of the kind of articles that the OP is trying to avoid?

 

[TheDoctor]

I'd have a look at VeloVision. No mention at all of racing, but lots about utility bikes, touring and recumbents.
Arch of this parish writes some stuff for it. This may put you off...

I would also advise C+, I used to like when I was able to get a regular supply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[papercorn2000]

Well, it's thanks to C+ that we have this place (in a roundabout way)>

 

[Fab Foodie]

C+ here too.
I also get the CTC mag... it's worthy but oh so dull...

Why do you need a mag for reviews, etc? when there are cycle forums?

Well unless you've got a wireless laptop or a bloody long CAT5 cable, you can't take it with you to the crapper!! (well, that's where I do all my reading anyways! )

Oh, and sorry for the Cycling Weekly suggestion, I posted it as a means of bumping the thread after I moved it here from Reviews. Come to think of it, I could have just said "Bump" - hey ho!

Cheers,
Shaun

good point but just fancy something to dip into occasionally
