Cycling Magazines/what do you subscribe to?

[maillotpois]

I subscribe to Vélo Mag, Québec's cycling magazine. It's impressive for such a small readership...

Is this Velo by the same publishers as the one that comes out in France? They have great stuff. I wish you could get international cycling magazines (French at least because it's all I can read!) here in the US.

Nope! It's edited by Velo Quebec, which some know because of its involvement in the development of the Green Way in Quebec (http://www.velo.qc.ca). It's the "holding" of cycling in Quebec (they have the magazine, organize the Tour de l'Ile, Montreal's equivalent of the Five Boros in NYC, have a travel agency, play an advocacy role, coordinate the Green Way, etc.). They also edit "Geo Plein-Air", our outdoors magazine.

You can check out their web site: http://www.velomag.com/velomag/accueil.lasso
they have some of the columns online.

Also check out http://laflammerouge.com/ if you are interested in pro racing and want to read more about it in French. The guy that publishes this site is a legend...

I used to subscribe to Bicycling, but was unhappy with some of the content (yeah, I'm a prude ) and all of the equipment articles and ads (I realize that's how they generate interest and $, but I don't see myself buying a $4000 TV to watch the Tour De France or gazillion dollar bike shoes). BUT, I did like recent article about those who MUST ride bikes b/c they cannot afford a car, bus fare, etc. As an elected official, it gave me insight to those who may be in the same situation in my community (and maybe I can do something about bike lanes, trails, etc.)

I subscribe to Her Sports and like it. Informative articles.

Bicycling, Outside Magazine, Women's Health. Outside & Women's Health aren't cycling specific, but they have some cycling stuff. I honestly do not have time to read them all though!

Bike mag addict checking in ...

My favourite is Cycling Plus - a UK magazine, and far better than any I've read (including the US Bicycling - too many ads).
It appeals to the average Joe/Jane Bloggs - but has more of an emphasis on road bikes than MTB.

Others include:
Cycle Sport
Pro Cycling
Cycling Weekly (UK)
Bicycling (Australia)
