Bicycling Magazine Subscription

Pros: Good information; interesting articles

Cons: Somewhat chaotic layout

The Bottom Line: Bicycling is a good magazine for both the sometime rider and the avid rider. I wouldn't pay full price but currently there is a great deal at the website.

Review: This is a review of Bicycling magazine and as it says on the cover mountain biking, road riding, you. I like to bicycle. I wouldn t call it a hobby because I don t bike enough nor is my bike an expensive one. I do own a helmet, bike shorts...

Pros: Good photography; Timely articles about new products

Cons: Lots of advertising; Some mundane articles; High cover price

The Bottom Line: A fairly good magazine, but it will appeal mostly to those who are crazy about the subject of bicycling

Review: Bike riding, touring, and competitive racing are subjects that don t generate much interest from very many people. Except for a quick trip on your two- wheeler down the street to the store or a short ride on a city bike path, most people don t...

Pros: some interesting articles, some good advice

Cons: too many advertisements

The Bottom Line: Good articles and current event updates, but too overrun with advertisements.

Review: I acquire magazines two ways, either by having them given to me or by subscribing to them free through credit card offers. Bicycling was one of those offered by one of my credit card companies. I personally will not buy a magazine anymore...

Pros: Good articles, a new and more cohesive layout, good tips

Cons: Seems to lean more toward road biking than Mountain biking

The Bottom Line: It has great information and inspiration. Sure, there might be little bumps here and there but overall, it's a fantastic read.

Review: I can't think of anyone who could actually look at me and say, "I hate bikes". Sure, I know plenty of people that don't get on them and some people that might get on them once in awhile, if just do something "different", but I don't think I've ever...

Pros: Great articles, helpful hints

Cons: ads ads ads

Review: As many of you know, I am an avid mountain biker. I participate in a couple of charity races every year, and like to keep up on what?s new in the industry. I subscribe to a few cycling magazines, both Mountain Bike (see my review) and...

Pros: none

Cons: sophomoric, too hung up on competition

Review: I subscribed to Bicycling magazine because, well duh, I cycle. I ride a road bike regularly, even occasionally doing a little cycle commuting. Here in the Austin area, the weather's OK for riding about 10 months a year (although a bit toasty for 7...

Pros: Short Articles, Fun

Cons: That it doesn't come out Bi-weekly

Review: I have been reading BICYCLING for over a year now. Before my new baby came biking was an obsession. I'm sure many can relate with this. I wanted to read about biking when I was not doing so. I checked several magazines out, but none of them touched...

Pros: Not many alternatives, occasional outstanding picture

Cons: Each issue a desperate guess of hodge-podge marketing

The Bottom Line: It's slipped from its glory days. Ignore the customer and the customer will ignore you. They may learn this right before the bankruptcy. They may not.

Review: Update: Due to a request from an uber-reviewer here, more basic mag details are added. The monthly issue, 9 issue a year, figure that one out, comes on time. Its usually about one hundred pages but more in the summer. I can rely on about a half...

Pros: Colorful, informative

Cons: Had a lot of ads, stuff for hardcore riders

Review: I got into biking about 5 years ago in college because it is very environment friendly. About a year ago I wanted to get more serious so I decided it was time to subscribe to a magazine. The first issue of biking I received was great. It showed how...

Pros: Balanced commentary, discussion of new gear to come out, annual buyers guide, good training tips

Cons: training tips are not intended for advanced riders

The Bottom Line: In general I really find Bicycling Magazine to be a great way to stay motivated to ride and to learn more about improving my riding.

Review: I ve been receiving Bicycling Magazine for roughly a year now. When I first picked up a copy at a news stand I thought it would just be a few training tips. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was much more. A typical issue covers some training...
