Singletrack
Last year’s winner of Best Consumer Mag was bagged by this privately owned mountain bike magazine. Chipps Chippendale, Mark Alker and Shaun Murray remain at Singletrack after founding the ever-popular title at the start of the century.
Shred
Shred used to be the UK’s smallest bike magazine when it launched back in 1996 as a local bike mag. Over the years the title has risen in stature, scope and circulation. In 2002 the mag adopted a free business model, going online in ‘05 and is moving with the times by working on a Shred App, bringing the mag to the iPhone and iPad.
