The Wheel World was a London-based weekly cycling publication founded in 1880 and edited by Henry Sturmey, later renowned as a cycling journalist, co-inventor of the Sturmey-Archer three-speed hub gear, and an influential figure in early cycling and motoring publishing. Published by Harry Etherington at 152 Fleet Street, it covered the British cycling scene comprehensively — tracking club activities, touring, racing, and industry news across Britain and internationally — during the phenomenal growth of cycling as a leisure and sporting pursuit in early-1880s Britain.
