The Cycle covered bicycle racing, road records, machine performance, and club news in Boston and beyond, with references to New York, Philadelphia, Omaha, and English cycling rules. It featured advertisements for bicycles, bearings, handlebars, repair services, and cycle warehouses, alongside editorial discussion of amateur status, League policy, and racing governance. The magazine also printed first-person riding accounts from women cyclists around Somerville, Magnolia, Concord, Wellesley, and Boston’s North Shore, reflecting the growing participation of female riders in Massachusetts cycling culture and the broader late-1880s American wheel movement.
