Magazine Subscriptions

[Downward]

Hi
My subs have no come to an end for C+.

Does anyone know what the Free gift is to subscribe for another year (Last month it was pedals) ?


Or there is another Mag which is similar but less focused on high end bikes etc, Can't remember the name but last month the subscription free gift was a Torque Wrench..

Thanks

I read something somewhere about a Free Jacket and Skull Cap being something that was given. Not 100% sure if it was C+ however.

@ Downward, the magazine that you referring to is Cycling Active me thinks.

Just received my latest edition of Cycling Plus and the free gift if you subscribe is a Prologo Kappa saddle in either black or white worth £54. Ok if you are in the market for a new saddle I guess.

Would it fit on a hybrid ? My Kona saddle is split.

I sacked my subscription to cycling weekly, came to the conclusion that at £2.60 a week, along with all those outstanding headlines on the cover on how to improve your performance etc that repeat themselves, but virtually nothing inside to substantiate it, that I would be better putting that money into a pot and it should nicely fund new cycling accessories.

I've been a LONG time subscriber to CW, even in my 'off years'........... it's got lots of pics of nice bikes........ hubba hubba... (no not girls..I must be weird)...

It's 'tradition with me......

Also get Cycling Plus - mainly cos I got the Blackburn Carbon pump, but it's OK...lots of pics again.............. don't do reading............

Yeah that's the sausage. Prefer it to C+
It's out 31st March so will have to see what the free gift is.

Velovision is one I'd recommend. All kinds of bikes, lots of utility cycling and recumbents, really good quality magazine IMO.

That's my favourite too, it's nice and simples! Got a couple of cycling active water bottles too for filling out a survey in the first issue!!!
I got an evans magazine through the post the other day, and was quite surprised... it was quite a good read, bit of info for the commuter in it. Not bad for free.

C+ was always my favorite magazine and I used to get it from the UK when myself or one of my colleagues was coming out to China. However things changed and that route dried up so I hadn't seen one for about 6 years or more. Two weeks ago I was in Hong Kong and looking through a magazine shop and to my surprise the was the latest C+ so I bought that plus Procycling and Cycle Sport. I was very pleased but the total cost was just under 30 quid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also did this over the winter,every episode from November-January was the same stuff just written differently,Although I guess theres not many more ways to dress up how bad the weather was and the lack of good cycling conditions

I bought my first copy of "Cycling and Mopeds" (which later became "Cycling" and even later "Cycling Weekly") in September 1959 and didn't miss a copy until last year when my subscription ran out. The standard of the magazine has deteriorated so much in the last few years it just didn't seem worth paying out for endless bike tests (all much the same) and articles persuading readers they could ride up the side of a wall if they would only follow the experts' tips which they churn out every week.
Maybe next month it will appear as "Cycling Weakly".
