CityBike is Northern California's monthly motorcycle magazine. It has been published in San Francisco since 1984 and has consistently been one of the U.S.'s most entertaining and informative motorcycle magazines. It's geared to the enthusiast, with feature articles on places to go and things to do, as well as bike tests on the latest sport and touring bikes. It's not a Harley lifestyle rag and we don't test cruisers. We do, however, write articles for intelligent people who think motorcycles should go around corners fast.
Each month, we devote nearly half the issue to "News, Clues and Rumors," keeping CityBike readers informed of developments that affect how we live and what we do. It includes legslative information, racing updates, and other goings-on in the motorcycle world.
We've also got a retinue of great columnists, including the legendary Maynard Hershon(with whom you'll be familiar if you follow bicycling, too), and Herb Chain.
