The Referee was a Chicago-based weekly devoted to the American cycle trade, covering industry organisation, dealer affairs, patent disputes, and racing governance. Published during the late 1890s and early 1900s, it addressed the concerns of manufacturers, importers, jobbers, and retailers, while tracking regulatory debates over amateur classification and international racing governance between the United States, Canada, France, Germany, and England. It served as a trade forum during a pivotal period of restructuring in the American bicycle industry.
