The big Italian magazine BICISPORT became available in a digital version in February. Now it has also become available in English in the digital version. If you want the Italian slant on road cycling this would be a good choice. See here for subscription information.
Note: highlighting here comment left by Sidamo:
Just be prepared for a LONG wait before being able to read the magazine. I think it took 5 days after payment (via credit card) before the March issue showed up in the reader. It seems BiciSport are yet to grasp the pay/instant-download paradigm in use on the internet for the past decade.
Also, a lot of the payment process is in Italian (including transaction receipt etc.) so if you don't speak the language be prepared for some head scratching as you try to figure out if something has gone wrong because you can't yet read the magazine :-)"
And, from reader Robbin, "I got my registration sorted out, payment was quick and easy and the on-line edition was available to me right away. Awesome magazine, over 200 pages of stories and photos in the March edition.
You can sense the Italian passion for cycling on every page, really cool.
Thanks Angelo for letting your readers know about this new service."

I tried to register and I'm still waiting for the confirmation email. Yes, the order process is all in Italian, I did a cut and paste into an Italian to English translator to get the gist of what they wanted from me.

Is the magazine available in the US in any bookstores such as Barnes & Noble?
ReplyDeleteYou can subscribe to the printed edition but it is in Italian. I think the English edition is only available in the digital version.
