The Cycle was a Boston-based weekly cycling journal published by Abbot Bassett in 1886 and 1887. It covered American cycling culture during the high-wheel era, featuring racing news, club reports, product reviews, and editorials on the amateur versus professional debate then preoccupying the League of American Wheelmen. The journal served New England's cycling community while engaging with the broader national conversation about the governance and future of the sport.
