The Wheel: Journal of Bicycling front cover

The Wheel was a New York-based weekly cycling journal published from 1880 to 1888, positioning itself as the national organ of American cycling. It chronicled the formation and early years of the League of American Wheelmen, covering club news, race results, touring reports, and industry affairs from across the country. The journal served a readership of both competitive racers and leisure cyclists during the high-wheel era, documenting the sport's rapid growth and national organisation throughout the 1880s.
