I've only just found this, sorry if it's old news...

This mag seems great. I've only flicked so far but the articles look interesting and the photography is excellent.

Latest issue can be found here  (http://www.thesingingfeet.co.uk/wideopenmag/pages/latest.html)

That's a great find. Like you say, some good articles and photos in there.

Also, its got some of my friend's pictures in there (French roadtrip) which was news to me.

The rather nice Issue 15 is out - get the pdf here: http://wideopenmag.co.uk/the-magazine (http://wideopenmag.co.uk/the-magazine)

It's got a Sheffield(ish) theme to it this issue and despite constant references to "The Peaks" is rather good.

even better IMO

it's free, better than Dirt for it's interesting interpretation of the scene and has no axes to grind.

superb example of top notch internet journalism

Nice photos, and I really like the hide/show text feature.

And another one (new thread or thread name change required??)

The Competitive Cyclist webshop currently has a link for a free one year subscription to Switchback Magazine:

Looks ok for a first issue, and it's usually $12.99 for a year.

There are download links on the Back issues page: http://www.imbikemag.com/back_issues.php (http://www.imbikemag.com/back_issues.php)

but it seems to use Adobe air and I haven't tried it offline.

Cheers, I don't think it's as good as Wideopenmag but it's good to have something else to have on the laptop to read when there's no wifi about :)
