I subscribe. And it all started cos you can get it on Tesco club card points!

And to be honnest its a good bit of fun. Gives all the stuff you need, covers a wide range of kit/bikes/trails. I just like it.

Sure more of my friends read the apparently "cooler" MBUK. But having read them both. Not a huge difference.

Single track changed from MBUK , MBUK too dirt jump trials orientated , not the stuff I do

Singletrack, subscriber. Obvious choice if you want to read about multiple day rides, or about the big wilderness races.

Singletrack*. Got bored of reading MBR and its very odd view of the world. Used to read MBUK back in the day and even then, only for Mint Sauce!










*Obviously I read it only for the tyre articles. ;) (had to do a pre-emptive strike there :P )

Another Singletrack subscriber here. "grown up" articles and some really good writing. Like the others too, but depends on the content. Stuff by Jo Burt/Jenn Hopkins is usually v worthwhile reading.

Sometimes WMB has good articles in it but I just dont want to read 100 bik specs every month

I enjoyed edition 1 of 'The Ride', as recommended on here by another m@rser.

I thought it was really different as it focussed on the experience of riding a bike rather than trying to sell you stuff you want but dont need.

I would thoroughly recommend it.

Hi mate,
