Good Points: Range of reviews and information

Bad Points: Err.... none really!

General comments: Back in the old, OLD days when I was first a biker, Bike magazine was required reading... and I'm really glad to see that (having returned to biking again after a 25 year layoff) it's still as good as it used to be!

From kit reviews to bike tests, every month there's plenty of informative, practical stuff (which is what I like). About the only criticism I could suggest (which is something almost all similar magazines suffer from) is that the review perspective tends to be a bit sports/performance oriented - which is not a terrible problem, but it would be nice to see some bike reviews which were written more from the perspective of a rider like myself - the more "mature" :-) sedate and practical viewpoint rather than the boy racer who likes a thrash!

This and Ride are the two biking mags I would recommend without hesitation.

The Portuguese reality in the bike magazine department is frightening. This causes us to look abroad for decent publications and the best one I've found (and subscribed to as a consequence) is BIKE.

There are minor defaults regarding BIKE:
1. They drive on the left;
2. Triumph is considered the best bike brand in the Universe.

You should buy it if you need to see used and new models tested. It's also mandatory to teach you where to look in each used model when you're looking for one.
