I'm sure lots of you folks have a complete set of the print magazine, but mine, diligently collected, need a new home. Any bright ideas about who might appreciate such a gift?

You could just cut out all the larger letters, incase you need to send any anonymous threats or warnings.

In all seriousness, someone posted not so long ago asking the same thing. I don't think there was a solution.

Split into bundles of 5 random issues and leave them on doctor and dentist waiting room tables.

I clearout mine every so often. I just offer them for free collection, I’ve tried on here,  but Facebook marketplace or bike group normally sees them going to a teen or an appreciative biker.

Took mine to a local bike park, for the kids to read or take home from the cafe.

just hope someone found some inspiration or routes to try.

Drop some at local train stations if they have book exchanges. I discovered this print mag by someone local to me leaving a few at my station. 

Charity shops.

If i send you a self addressed envelope every few days can you send me back a random page of adverts

It'll be a pretty accurate representation of the online experience currently.

I took more than 14yrs of singletrack to the paper recycling skip at castle douglas dump last week along with two large plastic crates of books, Got the full set of cranked mags and full set of the ride journal and another mag of that time period that I cant remember to take to dump next week along with more books

Cheddar. If it was not for all the other people in my life, who just reminded me I have to much to much stuff already. 

I tried to sell the ideal to them and got shot down.

If I lived on my own.... for sure.

Thanks. Hope someone takes them.

(What volume  do they take up?) Lidl bag for life scale.) Might be a new negotiation tactic 😉
