What the f**k  is Wideopen Magazine?

Wideopen is a free online mountain bike magazine based in the UK.

Wideopen is 100% FREE and downloadable from this very website (click the cover shot on the top right).

Wideopen is dragged kicking and screaming to life by part-timers, amateurs and frustrated bike fans that love riding and racing bikes more than anything else in the whole wide world. None of them make a dime out of it.

Wideopen is like a real magazine but you read it online, as a PDF file. You can’t read it on the bog but you can read it in work, on your laptop, phone, iPod or other fancy gizmo.

Wideopen loves UK mountain biking and the UK race scene. It’s here to show off just how bloody good our scene, our trails and our riders can be – no where else in the world is the racing scene so vast for such a small island.
