Bikes Etc magazine - has it gone?

[Foghat]

Anyone know the story with the apparent demise of Bikes Etc?

Website says "no longer available to purchase as a subscription product", and it's been missing from the shelves for a while now.

Preliminary googling not revealing anything.

That's odd.

Before logging in, did a search on Cyclechat for "Bikes Etc" which didn't list anything. Just tried it again with the same search term, but logged in this time, and found this:
https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/bikes-etc.254448/

Search function must operate differently according to whether logged in.

I gave up with most mags the only one I have on sub is pro cycling as it's about he sport ,good articles etc rather than rehashed pieces every few months

Tough times for print magazines at the moment. There is so much online and mags are so expensive. A good classic car mag I used to get has sadly bitten the dust. I looked at Cycling Weekly today and was amazed to find it costs about £3.50 for such a thin mag. A guitar magazine I bought occasionally was £6.50 too. Most people can't afford those kind of prices on a regular basis, though the subscription are usually much better value.

Bikes Etc has stopped publication. Their last issue, on sale December IIRC said so.
