I subscribe to Bike, Bicycling and Mountain Bike. Those are my favorites. Bike has awesome photography; Bicycling and Mountain Bike have great fitness/training tips and gear reviews.

I'll occasionally pick up Dirt Rag and Mountain Biking. I won't buy MBA ( I hate that f'ing mag!)

I think BMX Plus is around still. I like Dirt and Decline. Bike has good pictures. IMO Bicycling and Mountain Bike are kinda worthless, especially Bicycling.

I usually get Decline but latley I have been buying Mountain Biking Action. Why do people not like this mag so much? I ride both DH and XC so I find MBA a lot more geared to XC guys and Decline for the FR and DH scene. I should subscribe to more mags, but it gets pretty expensive to subscribe in Canada.

MBA has absolutely THE WORST, most UNRESEARCHED advice on the planet. Their layout is horrendous and their editing is wrought with errors, and their articles are really just a bore to read.

Dirt Rag has something weird going on with them. They used to rock, but I've been much less impressed with them lately.

that's cool, Graphics. Just the fact that you actually reached a person at that place and got through to them is amazing in itself.

Have you had issues? I've emailed back and forth all day with Jeff Guerrero just shooting the sh*t about music, riding, etc....

Dirt - from the UK, my absolute favorite, then it's Dirt Rag then Bike. I get desperate every once and a while and buy Decline (not bad, but not as well put together articles as Dirt) and MBA. Buying MBA is usually an act of desperation. I mean, it's almost a tabloid with cover "articles" like DOUBLE SECRET TRAINING! 10 MINUTE FORK FIXES! THIS IN: SPECIALIZED ADVERTISES WITH US AND WE LOVE THEM! and so on.

Don't forget the "you can drink coffee, coke or mountain dew to hydrate, because if you like it you'll drink a lot of it and that's good" kind of advice they offer.
