This New York cycling magazine covered bicycle racing, road riding, club news, and equipment advertising, with strong attention to the League of American Wheelmen and competitive events in Boston, Worcester, Newport, Minneapolis, Crawfordsville, St. Louis, and New York City. It reported on rules, officers, and state directors across the United States and Canada, while also featuring technical claims for bicycles, bearings, roadsters, and second-hand machines. The publication combined humor, club notices, race results, and manufacturer promotions, reflecting the rapidly growing bicycle culture of the Northeast and Midwest in the 1880s.
