You're on it.

Seriously, I used to subscribe to a half dozen magazines or so. I haven't subscribed to any (*) for the last 5 years, I can get better and more up-to-date info on absolutely any hobby, and discussion and personal reviews, online than in print.

I really question if there's a need for a casual/commuting cyclist magazine anyway. Newbies certainly need some guidance (I did), and it's nice to get valid personal opinions of new equipment and companies, but once you've been riding for 3 to 5 years, you'll probably never really need any more info anyway. The only new equipment I've bought for the last 3 years have been tires, lube, brake pads and a repair stand, plus replacements for worn out clothing (and I'm phasing out specialty bicycle clothing, except for rain gear).

(*) I do still subscribe to one very low print run specialty magazine, but I have it delivered in PDF format, and it's kind of an odd exception.
