About this episode

The episode discusses the decline of print magazines in the motorcycle industry, focusing on the closure of Cycle World and its implications.

Word leaked out this month that the parent company for Cycle World—formerly the magazine and latterly the website—has pulled the plug on the publication. Not so many years ago this would have been unimaginable. At its height, Cycle World had 300,000 subscribers and was the main conduit for OEMs to reach enthusiasts in the most lucrative motorcycle market in the world. And now, seemingly, it’s all come to an end. Joining Neil to talk magazines and shifting markets are Motorcycle Global’s Michael Uhlarik and ADVRider.com managing editor Zac Kurylyk.
