Through making this change we believe that we will be able to better serve your needs. The world has changed dramatically since we took Bicycling Australia monthly back in 1994. Back then our main motivation was to be first out with race results. Our monthly schedule gave us a chance to beat the international magazines, which were mostly sea freighted to Australia. Today virtually no magazines publish race results because the internet now services that need.
Magazines best provide more in depth information through stories and photographs.
Although many of you own both road and mountain bikes, we feel that we can serve your needs better by publishing two specialised magazines and dovetailing the publication schedules. This will also allow us to continue with the same editorial team. Because these changes will affect your subscription prices immediately. The price per issue has not changed, just the number of issues. As the bi-monthly issues are phased in the number of issues per year will gradually drop to six.
