We’ve been getting some reports from our Print Subscribers that they’ve had delays in getting their copies of Issue 62 through the post. First off we’d like to apologise to anyone that’s been affected – we’re very sorry for that. A big bonus of being a subscriber to Singletrack is the fact that you get your copy before it appears in the shops and that hasn’t happened with Issue 62.
There are two reasons for the delay. One is the backlog at the Royal Mail due to the recent heavy snowfall across the UK. The second has been a delay at the publishers.
To explain, what usually happens is that subscriber copies are collected from the publishers by the Royal Mail two days before copies are allowed to go out to the general newstrade and bike shops. That means that subscribers should always get their copies through the post before they’re generally available. The fact the publishers were a day late getting the magazine published, combined with the snow and it being Royal Mail’s busiest week of the year thanks to the Christmas rush has meant it just hasn’t worked that way.
By way of apology, here’s some lovely wallpaper from the Sicily feature as a little gift from us to you…

Thought as much…..
The magazine always comes out in the shops before I receive my copy and its not like I live in the middle of nowhere… LONDON.
Good magazine though!
As a temporary worker at one of Royal Mail’s data entry sites I can vouch for the fact that the week of the snow there was very little “traffic” through the sorting offices. Even last week the mail seemed to be very patchy going through the system. As anyone will know there is always delays this time of year just down to shear volume.
I had seen ish 62 in Smith’s and am still awaiting my subs copy but I accept that there have been problems.
Thanks for letting us all know anyhoo
To busy to be reading mags dont mind waiting 🙂
mine is here now. thanks.
Non subs here, came in for a look at the wide bar. Just to say no sign of my defaced Tesco copy either today.
works well as screen savers, cool.
thanks for update
I very rarely get mine before it appears in my local WH Smiths, which frankly pees me off. But it’s a great mag so I’ll keep the subscription going. For now.
Mine arrived yesterday and very nice it is too.
I shall print out the wall paper and stick it over the May picture on the calendar 😉
Just had todays post and still no sign in Preston
It’s arrived through the door here in Manchester.
Still not got mine. :o(
not turned up yet, but it’s nothing I get wound up about. Just downloaded the pdf.
Nothing today !!
Where are you Ben? South Manchester here and nothing today.
Thanks for udate and pdf.
Not arrived in Cheshire today but I’m sure it will come soon.
Always going to be delayed at this time of year with the xmas post and the weather has really stuffed any delivery service esp north of the border.

Do you really think that happens?
Not here in Munich yet! But hey, it is a great mag and worth the wait!
Mine’s still not arrived 🙁
Perhaps it’d work better if Royal picked them up a week earlier, not 2 days! It is Royal Mail!
Still not got mine, even though I live only 35 miles from the printers!
