Momentum, "The Magazine For Self Propelled People," covers practical mobility and completely ignores racing, fitness, and pro cycling. Publisher Amy Walker and her team of editors have a real passion for what they do, and right now they have a special holiday offer: Buy 1-5 subscriptions and receive $5 off (per subscription), or get $10 off (per subscription) when you buy six or more. That's half price!At the opposite end of the bike spectrum is VeloNews, "The Journal of Competitive Cycling." It's all about racing, fitness and pro cycling. I like the writing and coverage there.
Fans of women cycling will love Women's Cycling Magazine, whose motto is "It's About Time!"You might be able to pick up free copies of Urban Velo Magazine at your local bike or skate shop, or you can subscribe and have it delivered straight to your door. Brad and Jeff cover urban bike culture in Urban Velo, and they always also have handy mechanical bike tips at the bag of their 'zine.
There are several other cycling magazines out there, but those are the ones on my short list. What would you recommend for your friends?
Bicycle Times.

ReplyDeleteCycling Plus from England...that's some good stuff, there -- it covers advocacy, racing, gear guides and the like without stuffing it down your throat like Buycycling Mag.
Bicycle Quarterly. It's really really amazing.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely second BICYCLE QUARTERLY! It can get pretty geeky, but I don't sense that as a problem here.
ReplyDeleteI wrote up a post about other magazines a while back that really only adds "Adventure Cyclist" to the list.
Bike Monkey!
