As per the header. I've posted a similar poll over in yacf. Unfortunately, the number of poll options seems more limited over here so I've had to be more selective. Feel free to mention other mags in comments. Tbh, I'm more interested in the specific reasons you read the mags they do (or indeed why you don't read them), rather than just the numbers.

Personally, I read Cycle Sport because I find it well written and interesting, Arrivee because I'm an AUK member, and Cyclist because I like a bit of glossy bike porn.

Wot, no "Cycling Active" on the list? Surely it merits being a choice, and not just lumped in with "other"? That's the only one I read at the moment, until I see what this new Scottish mag is all about.

The number of polling options is limited and I made an arbitrary decision about which ones to include. It's no big deal - there's no prize for being the winner. If I could edit the poll, I might put Cycling Active back in instead of, say, the token mountain biking mag, but I can't edit the poll now.

Tbh, I'm more interested in knowing why CA is the only one you read...
 
Cycling Plus and sometimes Cycling Active. Years ago would always have the latest copy of Winning, remember that? and somewhere in a box I have the first issue of Bicycle Action with the Cranes, cannot remember if they are brothers, cycling up mountains on a new version of cycle called a mountain bike!
 
I used to read CW every, er, week, but I no longer bother.

Mrs S will occasionally pick me a copy up once in a blue moon, but as for the glossys, I gave them up ages ago, if you've read one you've read 'em all IMO.

Plus everything's available to read online anyhoo in one form or t'oher ;)

Cycling Plus most months and Cycling Weekly every other week. I'll probably subscribe to one or the other when there's a free gift I fancy, plus Cycle Sport and Procycling when I'm in the mood.

I also subscribe to cycling plus for all the bling they feature.

I've been thinking about giving another magazine a go in conjunction with cycling plus. It's interesting what you guys say about Cyclist - glossy bike porn and good journalism sounds right up my street.

Had a quick google and found you can get three issues for a fiver with no obligation after that (although you have to cancel or they'll continue to charge you of course).

Worth a try I think. I may give the digital edition a go first. Would make it more accessible when out and about and less clutter as I have a habit of letting magazines pile up.
