NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I've just noticed that 'Mountain Bike Australia' Magazine is now available for digital download on 'Zinio.' I have been quite happy using Zinio for the last few months - particularly a subscription to 'Surfer' & 'Bike' for $9 each.

Bargain.

This is not meant to be a promo! Just letting you all know. The American publication of 'Bike' at $9 for 9 issues is a bargain. (If a few of you are cunning enough, you could share a username/password and share subscriptions across multiple computers/tablets)

I don't think "cunning" is the correct word for "sharing" like that. If it's worth reading, then pay for it!

I am also happy to pay for quality (& I do). I'm am also happy to read someone elses magazine. This new 'digital' subscription changes things slightly. I didn't mean for this thread to develop into an ethics debate!

P.S - Your profile pic - where is that?

In a funny way from memory magazines supply advertisers with two numbers Distribution and Readership.

IE.
Mag X
Distribution 10,000
Readership 40,000

There has always been this dodgy calculation that for every one mag sold four people read it, maybe this is crossing over into the digital world.

Don't forget http://www.imbikemag.com/ which is free so share it as much as you want.

Hi Chris - thanks for the positive reply. The profile pic was taken below the Monte Cristallo, just east of Cortina in the Dolomites, northern Italy. It's possible to do a 45km downhill circuit of Cortina, using two cable cars and a chairlift. Fantastic area for hiking and biking.
