Trying the first;
already do the second;
What do YOU do to recycle your back issues of bike mags (other than put them in the paper recycling)? Original ideas required as I don't think we can afford to build an extension at the moment....

If you do anything other than putting them in the paper recycling, surely you're reusing them?

I read them to remember how much simpler (and cheaper) things where before Pop-locks, DWP links, Sag settings, ghetto tubless... ๐Ÿ™„

I don't waste my time buying them in the first place.

I turn them into papier mache bearings and sell them to Superstar for their bottom brackets.

Ok, Mr Pedantic, but that spoils the title... "Reduce, reuse and reuse some other kind of way" doesn't really have the same ring to it.

"....Reuse for original intended purpose, recycle" doesn't fit well either. *rolly eyes icon thingy*

Wallpaper, christmas wrapping paper, birthday cards.

Actually one sensible solution I have heard is give them to GPs and so on for the waiting rooms - better than chat or take a break that you normally get

TJ, It's "Celebrity tit tape disasters weekly" or "High Heels and Handbags!" actually, I'll have you know.... Oh, you meant that 'one' normally gets, not [i]I[/i] personally get...

If you google for some DIY ideas, you can see how people makes some furniture with it. Bed table, tabouret and so and so.

Or you can use it to make a nice bedroom door ๐Ÿ˜‰

or collect more and you can stack them up to build the extension

second taking them to the doctors, at least you'll be able to find something good to read whilst you wait then

I dont buy many, pro-cycling (sorry) monthly, and occasionally STW. Give them any after reading/ hanging onto them for a month or so.
