How often is Classic Bike Guide published?
Classic Bike Guide is published 12 times a year. Which means a new issue is available every month.
When can I expect my first issue?
Your subscription will automatically start with the next available issue. Unless you have selected a specific start issue or if you are taking out a Direct Debit. If you have chosen a Direct Debit and the next issue of the magazine is due on sale in the next couple of weeks, your subscription will start with the issue after.
What is a Direct Debit subscription and how does it work
Direct Debit subscriptions are an easy way to take out and renew your subscription automatically. Your subscription will start with the next available issue after the first Direct Debit payment has been made.
When the renewal date for your subscription comes around the payment will automatically be taken. This way your subscription will continue without interruption. Also, you will benefit from the most competitive renewal price.
Can a subscription be bought as a gift?
Yes, you can add a recipient's delivery address for the subscription at checkout.
Remember, if the gift recipient has an email address, add this in the delivery details so that they can be kept up to date on their subscription. If they do not have an email address, or you do not wish to include it, leave this blank in the delivery details.
Can I order a back issue or pre-order a future issue?
Yes, you can go to the single issues page and buy any back issue we have in stock, simply add these to your basket along with your subscription.
You can also pre-order the upcoming issue and the current issue on sale in the shops.
How do I renew my subscription online?
