I'll start: 

This is my first magazine that I got when I signed up for Performance Bike membership - Bicycling magazine - available online at http://www.bicycling.com/

Bicycle Times is my absolute favorite followed by its sister publication Dirt Rag. I also enjoy Bicycle Quarterly. My old favorite was Urban Velo until it retired this last December. 

I have a love-hate relationship with Bicycling Magazine. Some issues have nothing of interest to me. I'll be ready to give up on it then the next issue comes and it'll have an article or feature that I like.

Bicycle Quarterly. Jan Heine can be a bit of a retro-grouch, but articles are well-written, research is data driven, and he doesn't give a flap about advertisers, unlike any of the other mags I see mentioned so far.

Less so these days. There's been articles on gravel riding, cyclocross, and mountain biking lately.

I subscribe to two:  Bicycle Times and Dirt Rag.  Love em both.

Another hurrah for BQ, and I'll add Adventure Cycling, Bunyan Velo, and the Rivendell Reader.

Forgot about Adventure Cycling magazine. A great read as well.

I guess I prefer magazines that focus on the joy of riding your bike.

Dirt Rag lifer for a while now (when it was $100 I think) and Bicycle Times.
