Articles in this issue
- Z.P.T.K. board communiqués Nos. 9–11: regulations for the 1926 Polish track championship at Warsaw's Dynasy track on 27 June and the 214.2 km road championship on 29 June, plus admission of two Lwów clubs and a one-day suspension for W. Karle.
- Editorial argues Poles excel at founding sporting organisations but fail at the daily clerical work that keeps them alive, urging club officers to treat an accepted mandate as a soldier's post or step aside.
- Signed „Fes.”, argues incompetent race judges let brutal riding take hold, citing the 1925 Amsterdam world championship where the Dane Jensen's chop nearly killed the Englishman Alden with a fractured skull and broken collarbone.
- Signed „Miłośnik”, previews the 1926 Polish championships, predicting a track final of Szymczyk, Podgórski, Łazarski and Szmidt, and naming Mieczysław Lange, Ziembicki, Miller, Szenrok, Hóchsman and Ignatowicz as road-title contenders.
- Signed „Pomian”, rebuts an Ilustrowany Kurjer Sportowy report accusing old riders of envy at the 13 June Dynasy opening, defending Józef Lange's tempo-setting tactics and the Warsaw Cyclists' Society's forty-year record.
- Domestic chronicle: at Dynasy, Podgórski took the Warsaw championship from Szymczyk by a quarter wheel on 20 June and Lange set a Polish motor-paced record, with further club reports including Ziembicki's 100 km in 3h 11m 10s at Brześć nad Bugiem.
- Signed „Pomian”, a reminiscence of a May club run of thirty-odd touring cyclists from Warsaw through Żoliborz and Bielany toward Modlin, defending quiet touring against the young racers' appetite for combat.
- Editor's note explaining this combined No. 6/7 issue makes good a missing May number, naming Al. Choczner as the new Kraków voivodeship correspondent, and warning subscribers in arrears that copies will stop.
- Foreign chronicle dominated by the Giro d'Italia, Girardengo's abandonment on the Foggia–Sulmona stage and Brunero's overall win in 137h 55m 59s, plus Pryor beating Oszmela at Herne Hill and A. Benoit's win in the 32nd Bordeaux–Paris.
- At the Parc des Princes on 6 June, Maurice Schilles took the French professional championship's tricolour jersey from Michard in the deciding match, with Poulain third; Fritscher was disqualified for foul riding.
- Jan Szczawiński replies to J.W.'s article on the threatened Polish bicycle industry, arguing riders buy foreign machines because importers offer six months' credit while Polish makers demand near-cash, and proposes instalment terms to compete.
