just seen issue 2.
i havent seen the mag before and must say its almost perfect in my eyes.
it covers everything!
it even has an article on bmx trails near my house 🙂
i dont even know if i have met mike sutton who wrote it 🙂

the best bike mag i have seen yet!

Yeh, I havent bought it for a while but it always used to be good. Only downer was it had too many adverts.

Check out Dig bmx mag, thats also a goodun

dont like dig or ride bmx ,in fact i stopped buying all mags.
i may start buying this one though

Think you may have the wrong mag mate. The Ride Journal isn’t “Ride”.

ride journal is what im on about

Jedi thats what I thought you meant! Davidtaylforth I was responding to, sorry should of made it clearererererer

🙂 🙂

is it a BMX mag or just bikes in general?

everything bikes!
bmx/track/road/tt/mtb/courier/cx……

I’ll look out for it, haven’t read a decent bike mag in years.

exactly.
i really enjoyed it

The Ride Journal Do it you won’t regret it!

How cool would it be if that CX course went through the BMX track? 8)

Which CX course?

Thanks Jedi, praise indeed as I know you’ve seen more sides of cycling than most.

We’re always interested in people’s feedback and indeed submissions for articles, photography or art.

Cheers!

This one I guess:

didnt realise anyone from it was on here!

you even got an article by a geezer in my town(a10 bmx)

herts shore and a10 trails are 3 miles apart lol

whens the next one out?

Tony. i think it was originally going to be a one off , but seeing as they have done two , they maybe doing more i suppose.
worth checking out the 1st one if you can get hold of it

salsaboy gave me the 2nd. not seen the 1st

I really like it.

Issues 1 & 2 now stored in the loft in cellophane next to original Star Wars character dolls for the day they’re worth more than 1st editions of Canterbury Tales 🙂

its the closest to perfect bike mag i have read!

salsaboy ?

didnt he used to ride bikes ??

🙂

There are a few shops left with issue 1, but not many. Bothy bikes certainly had a few when I was in there a few weeks ago and Cycle Care in High Wycombe might have a copy. Officially we are sold out of issue 1 though. Hunt it down; there’s some BMX and ooh, lots of other good stuff in there too.

‘When’s the next one out?’ Don’t hold your breath :^) We’re definitely doing it, but it will be a while. We’re addicted now…

I love it.
Have been reading and savouring a couple of articles every night in bed.
I’ts great that I know a few of the people and have ridden with them.

We have them as coffee table books in the b.h household.
Going to re-read issue one again after this newest addition.

have to say bloody well done. really pleased with the first one, second one was dispatched far too quickly at the GF’s friend’s wedding weekend, but will be reading again for sure. properly lovely things to posses.
superb photography/artwork, well presented overall, and great articles.

Thanks DeanoT
I have both issues (still eking out issue2 so perhaps I didn’t recognise the picture)
Like Jedi I think its pretty much spot on, having an interest in all things bike since 1979 when I started doing TT’s its great to see something so diverse getting published. Keep up the good work 🙂

Funny, I posted up a thread nearly a week ago when my copy arrived and nobody took a blind bit of notice, now everyone’s raving about it. Still, at least I was first…
It is a lovely piece of work, tho’, really difficult to imagine any way it could be improved on. Love the Heros of Cycling feature, and nice to see Pharrell Williams writing about Brooklyn Machine Works; having a Rap star writing in a British cycling mag, (book?), must be a first. And yes, I know there’s an interview with him in Dirt. Not the same thing.
Lovely, lovely illustrations as well, congratulations all round.

if you posted it at this time of night i’m not surprised 😛

😆

I knew you’d like it Tony 🙂

wish everyone would stop saying what a brilliant read it is… still waiting for my copy to arrive over here in the land of smog and rice fields…. 😆

Got my one last week and think it’s a great book, it’s too nice to call it a magazine I think.
The next day I bumped into a certain gentleman who had cycled round the world in 195 days and he kindly signed my copy of Ride.

Just in case you don’t know Mark Beaumont, I’m the fat one on the right 😀

Deano how f&^% are you? Long time no see.

Hello,
Philip (the editor) here.

Glad folk are enjoying it. It makes the endless disappearing evenings seem worthwhile.
Its great to see open minded folk who just love bikes getting into what we’re about.

If anyone has any ideas for things theyd like to see (and I mean sensible stuff not Tomac racing Hill at Repack or Obree Vs Boardman at Herne Hill on fashion fixies) we’re always open to ideas.

Ive been told Magma books are now out of issue 1 so unless Wycombe or Bothy still have them, then ebay for jacked up prices is the only place to find it.
sorry.

Cheers
Philip
