There are not too many cycling magazines still in print and the smaller less main stream ones seem to be doing ok with the likes of Cranked CC, Singletrack etc. I do not subscribe to any publications now but when we are out and about I have a look to see what's on offer and see if they have enough interesting articles, features, tests etc in a copy before I part with my hard earned. As you can imagine all magazines have shot up in price over the years and they are not a cheap thing to buy now but I always like the feel of good quality paper / nice smelling magazine in my hands reading what is going on in the outside world of all things cycling related. I have not finished this copy yet but made a good start including the meaty length feature on Nick Craig.
You can order copies from NEWSSTAND online for £10 inc free p&p or keep an eye out on Cranked CC Facebook page as sometimes there are voucher codes for money off annual subscriptions, last one was £15 so making 4 copies £35 inc delivery.
RRP £10 and I paid £10 from WH Smiths Harrogate -

Cranked #25 is all about mixing it up. A Scotsman exiled in Spain gathers together some mates to test lockdown legs on a multi-day adventure, while a young Canadian brings snowboard style and attitude to mountain bike riding and a Scottish BMXer discovers that big wheels behave differently in the air. Meanwhile, Geoff Waugh talks to (probably) the nicest man in mountain biking, Steve Behr slows down, Pete Scullion discovers there’s more to a Scottish Munro than meets the eye and two old friends who probably ought to know better set up a bike company. It’s unmissable.
- Dylan Siggers – adults are stupid. Word.
- Adventure – getting away from it all in the mountains
- Nick Craig – legends aren’t born, they’re made out of gritstone and determination and all things nice
- Elsie & Adam – a little helping hand. Er, leg.
- Attraction – science, politics and mountain biking meet on a Scottish Munro
