Once again I have bought MBUK, not because I like it or the content but because it was available when singletrack was not…. and it came with a free cable lock which whilst I know will break if a thief looks at it the wrong way it was still free and makes the proposition of a crap magazine somewhat bearable…

I only tend to buy magazines in ASDA or Tesco as they are the only shops I go into regularly… no WHS very handy to me and no where else that stocks singletrack….

Why is it that singletrack is not stocked my local supermarkets???

Rant over

Subscribe, then you won’t need to grumble on the internet.

Yeah I know that’s the answer however I am sure there are loads of others like me who buy enough magazines in a year to warrant a subscription but never actually like to commit to twelve months of purchases in one go….

Why buy a magazine you don’t like? Pretty stupid thing to do.

and join the whinging each month when the mag arrives on your doorstep after it’s been in the shops

I have a hazy memory of someone from ST saying it was quite hard to get into the shops – they only stock what they know will sell, and there is only so much shelf space – probably the reason they are in the bigger Tescos and WH Smiths.

Niche innit!

Tesco and MBUK are mainstream

On that note I wonder what the different magazine readership numbers are like?

Does MBUK sell that many more?

I keep forgetting I have a sub. It is such a pleasant surprise when it turns up in the post.

Now there’s a joke in there somewhere

In my shop it sells loads better, I stock singletrack and don’t sell any! (except me)

I bought 2 this afty from small local newsagent (I’m in it and wanted to send Dad a copy!!!)

I appreciate that doesn’t help you though…..sorry!

What about a premier sub. £15 and you get the mag in pdf or viewer software and all past issues. Seems a good deal to me.

good deal but I like to read them on paper, I spend too much time looking at a screen as it is…. if I had an iPad it might be a different story though

if you live anywhere near Hebden Bridge or Todmorden then you can get the mag ! local shop and a bike shop… 😉
