Magazine description: A to B magazine started life as The Folder, the newsletter of the Folding Society in August 1993. Specialising in news and reviews of folding and separable bikes, the magazine went from strength to strength and is run today – as it has always been – by the Henshaw family. In August 1997, with 1,200 subscribers worldwide, David Henshaw decided to float the magazine on its own. The new magazine had a new title ‘A to B’ and a new brief – to explore new ways of traveling from point A to point B. Naturally, as the most efficient transport integrator, the folding bicycle continues to feature in the magazine, but we also cover electric cars, electric bikes, green energy, bike trailers and public transport. By 2017, the paper subscription base had fallen to under 1,000, but the magazine is now sold in several digital formats too, so total readership is probably in the 5,000-6,000 zone worldwide. Subscribers include public utilities, train operating companies and bike manufacturers and distributors.
