RiDE: The Motorcycle Magazine

Ride October 2015

User reviews

Content vs writing quality

Writing style of a junior, junior school pupil that is.
I have enjoyed the content of my first purchase,but it was an excruciating read, poor grammar. Virtually no commers and many unnecessary words. I will stick with MCN.

The App on iPhone & iPad is rubbish

Received digital subscription at Xmas. Setup was a nightmare. 2 separate logins (Grt. Magazines & Ride app). Took weeks to sort out. Recent email from Grt. Magazines, simplifying login by introducing single password for both account. Followed instructions & back to square one, no access to digital subscription (blocked by banner “become a member to continue”, - I have 6 months of my subscription remaining). Now wondering whether Ride magazine is worth the hassle.

Can’t access any articles or magazines

I paid for a 6 month print+digital subscription but when I log into this app I can’t access anything. I’ve messaged Bauer publishing about it but no response. Feel a bit scammed at the moment!

Real everyday motorbike life

Ride Magazine not only shows you the latest and fanziest motorbikes, but also your everyday issues like general legal advice, long term experiencies, trips of all kinds, motorbike gear comparisons, and the lot. No other magzine is so rider-focused, excellent.

Rubbish App

I have taken up an print and digital subscription. The app never loads, constantly asking me to subscribe and log out. Cant read a single thing. Loads of emails back and forward to resolve and nothing has changed. I have given up emailing as it’s like talking to a brick wall. When the offer is up, I won’t continue with the subscription.
