LBS (Santa Cruz Spokesman) just got Ride #22 in stock. I saw advertised on CN a couple months back
that it was out. Good stuff, but why so long before hitting shelves in the US? Does anyone subscribe
to it and get it much faster?
It's an Aussie quarterly cycling magazine and this is dated Spring 2003 (Sticker over barcode says
Oct,Nov,Dec) Decent mag, but it would be nice to get it more timely.

I make my living as a magazine editor. We have some overseas subscribers, and I tell you first-class
postage will kill ya. Considering that most magazines make most of their money off their
advertising, US mags have little to earn from shipping magazines to another country (so we license
our content to different publishers in different countries). I'd guess it's the same with Ride, so
I'd guess they ship it by cheap means and that makes delivery slow.
But ask them what the turnaround time is for US subscribers:
