Mike and I are going to do a podcast shortly where I hope to dig into that, but Bike was shuttered while Señor Ferrentino was still an artist in residence. It was apparently profitable and circulation was good, (which were apparently both true of Dirt when it was tossed in the trash by corporate types) and it might have come down to something inspirational and honest, like creating a loss so some multi-millionaire could reap a larger bonus.
I was a big fan of Bike and I love the people I know at Beta. They produce excellent stuff and fight the good fight as much as possible. Hopefully, it can also survive being part of a corporate behemoth.
