It looks like the only "traditional" monthly magazine remaining in the U.S. is Rider. The rest have gone to digital-only or have morphed into coffee-table quarterlies, heavy on photos and light on text. We'll see how long rider can last in this format. They run a skeleton staff of just three paid editors plus three or four regular (freelance) columnists/road testers. Maybe a third of the material consists of road-trip stories contributed by readers. The July issue runs 46% advertising which should be sustainable unless they're giving the ads away. In my field, skiing, the same has happened. Since the advent of the web, US print magazine paid circulation has declined from about 1.3 million (combined circ of four major magazines) to about 70,000 for the sole survivor, now publishing just four issues per year. The internet isn't the only culprit -- corporate consolidation means there are only about half a dozen major advertisers with significant budgets, whereas in 1990 there were 30 or 40 companies capable of buying half a dozen full pages a year.
My only other cycle mag is Motorcycle Consumer News, which is still holding onto a print format.
Nice thick, well-photographed magazine that is bi-monthly.
Where I am I have a couple of riders (pilots mostly) that subscribe to printed stuff because not available easily on line or at all.I read'em and the best one and most informative in IMHO is "Motorcycle Mojo" (motorcyclemojo.com) from Canada.Good fun and better than staring at a smartphone screen. Decent writing, sure better than my ramblings.They usually have a couple of road tests and a good ride report for some area. In recent issues they have done the Texas Hill Country and NW Arkansas..pretty good.FWIW:-)
Got a post card today from Cycle World group saying my remaining Motorcyclist subscription will be transferred to Cycle World.GliderJohn
What can possibly be said that hasn't been already written about riding a motorcycle? I'm NOT surprised.
I suggest BIKE and Motorcycle Sport and Leisure from the UK. VASTLY superior to anything from our side of the pond.And not to be snarky, but Motorcycle Consumer News, since Serle retired as editor, is a hollow shadow of it's former self. Practically useless.
I’m going to subscribe to Rider.
