It's B5 - slightly trimmed to 170x240. It's "perfect bound" - pages glued at the spine like a paperback - so, perhaps, less 'disposable, than most magazines. However the title/date etc. aren't printed on the spine - a detail for future issues?</p> <p>In these days of the internet and dynamic iPad app versions of magazines, it may seem surprising that anyone bothers with 'print'. <a href="http://www.rapha.cc/rouleur-magazine">Rouleur</a> has shown there <em>is</em> a market for well produced niche products. On the face of it the 'markets' for Boneshaker (£3.50) and Rouleur (£9) couldn't be more different, but anyone who likes bicycles, words, photos and <em>print</em>, would be happy with both.</p> <p>Some snippets from issue 1</p> <p>"<em>Boneshaker </em>is an attempt to bring together some of these people and projects, both on a local level, starting with my hometown of Bristol UK..."</p> <p>(Sound familiar?..)</p> <p>"The first time I saw Puncture Kit was a youtube clip of him street-busking" jimmy ell</p> <p>"I was very naïve. I saw broken or badly maintained bikes everywhere and I just wanted to fix them and get more people cycling." (<a href="http://www.jakesbikes.co.uk/content/70.php">Jake Voelcker, Jake's Bikes</a>)</p> <p>"So still wanting to use my typewriter I just thought I would see if I could draw with it." Keira Rathbone</p> <p>"our front room turned in to a bike storage space for around 50 bikes at a go." maria baños-smith</p> <p>"Issue 2 is out early august"</p> <p><a href="http://boneshakermag.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">http://boneshakermag.wordpress.com</a></p> <p>I'll send one of the postcards to the first 3 people who <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/?pm=new/chdot">PM me</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=918#post-8185 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 08:13:52 +0000 chdot 8185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4686997309_a255b6aa61.jpg"></p> <p>"We are based in bristol, UK and have started producing a quarterly not-for-profit magazine about people and projects doing great things with bikes around the globe - have a look at our blog here:</p> <p><a href="http://boneshakermag.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://boneshakermag.wordpress.com/</a></p> <p>Issue 1 is out now and is a 60page, advert-free,  full colour, perfectly-bound publication on uncoated paper and looks lovely!" </p>
