I'll have to check with the book store guy to see if he can get me a copy. $86 a year is a bit steep for magazine delivery to the US without at least taking a looksee.

I don't always buy them but do usually have a look, it's a good mag for older stuff. You can get it at Chapters up here, I would expect Indigo or Barnes & Noble would carry it down there.

Its a bit spendy but of all the magazines out there, this one is worth every penny. I've got a subscription and it gets read cover to cover every month. :smt023

I enjoyed reading your letter when it was published Peter.

You can order single issues from this site http://www.themagazineman.co.uk/Practic ... tbikes.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Once you buy one issue they'll email you the following month with a link to buy the next issue if desired. No grief. No headaches. I've been buying them there since issue #1. In my mailbox about a week after ordering.
