If this is the first time you’ve encountered Adventure Bike Rider (ABR) magazine, then… welcome.

ABR has been published for over 10 years and is regarded as the most inspirational, respected and popular motorcycle magazine in the UK (and the world) for riders of adventure, trail and touring bikes. Just check out our passionate followers and community on the Adventure Bike Rider Facebook page for confirmation of that.

Having said that, ABR has always been more than just a one-dimensional magazine aimed at dedicated RTW explorers or riders of certain motorcycles. Indeed, our founding principle and one that we’ve stuck to through the years, is that ‘it doesn’t matter what brand of motorcycle you ride or where you travel’. ‘If you want to ride more and discover new places and experiences, then we’re on the same wavelength’.

You’ll find the pages of ABR packed with inspirational motorcycle and travel stories and stunning images from all around the world, and being a UK based publication, we also cover locations closer to home and all across Europe.

The magazine also features extensive, practical and respected gear and motorcycle reviews to enable you to make informed and educated choices when spending your cash. You’ll also find information and confidence building ‘how to’ features covering all aspects of motorcycle travel from riding across deserts to getting the best value when booking hotels in the USA and Europe.

In short, if you ride a motorcycle and have any travel aspirations, near or far, then Adventure Bike Rider magazine is for you.

Overseas Readers – Get Instant Access, Huge Cash Savings and Play a Part in Being Kinder to the Environment

Let me start off by offering our overseas readers  of the paper version of ABR an apology.  It will come as no surprise to many but we have now been forced into making a decision to stop offering paper copies of ABR magazine to all countries outside the UK.

Unfortunately, the costs and inefficiencies of posting overseas orders of the printed version of ABR are now untenable. Shipping costs have risen dramatically over the past year and are forecast to keep rising. Plus the inefficiencies in the postal service (we can experience over 20% of international orders returned and/or go missing), coupled with month to year-long delays in delivery (really) mean that we cannot offer a level of service that we can endorse.

But there is good news. You can still get your ABR fix, benefit from a huge cash saving and be kinder to the environment (the days of sending paper around the world are truly coming to an end). If you’re an overseas reader, you can get access to every copy of Adventure Bike Rider we’ve ever published plus all new issues as they become available via our on-line Digital Library. Better still, copies will not go missing in transit and you’ll not have to wait for the postie as access to every issue is immediate on joining – that’s all back issues and new issues as they become available. Details of the Digital Library can be found here.

Many thanks for visiting ABR and safe riding.

Best regards
