Read The Clearing for Free

Owl

Those big eyes watching cyclists ride by

In case you missed it last week, we dropped another issue of our Magazine and made it and past issues available to all devices. Bike Hugger Mag is now on iOS via iTunes and every device with a browser. Starting today, we flipped the free switch on Patrick Brady’s article The Clearing to entice subscriptions.

His story is about an animal encounter and fear. Fear that an owl was going to dismantle him as he rode his bike.

As I learned later, Patrick from Red Kite Prayer doesn’t suffer from oclophobia and didn’t write the article as a public confession of a rare, bird-related phobia. It was just this one big owl that he wrote, “was staring at me.”

To read The Clearing, just sign in. Then to read the rest of the issue with more animal encounters and SXSW recaps, please subscribe: annual subscriptions are $16; individual issues are $4.

Your money directly supports the authors, photographers, and editors who contribute to Bike Hugger Magazine and make it ad free.
