Page-138, a sort of time line covering the evolution and growth of the American Bicyclist and Motorcyclist magazine (aka ABM). The evolution started with the BICYCLING WORLD founded in 1879. In 1883 the L.A.W. Bulletin merged with the BICYCLING WORLD. In 1901 the publication was consolidated with THE WHEEL. Several more name changes, start-ups & mergers resulted in publications named; Bicycling World & Motorcycle Review, Motorcycle Illustrated, Motorcycle & Bicycle Illustrated (1906), Bicycle News (1915). All of the aforementioned were weekly publications. American Motorcyclist & Bicyclist began monthly publication in 1925. The May 1934 issue was the name change from American Motorcyclist & Bicyclist to American Bicyclist & Motorcyclist. In later years THE CYCLIST (published by Walter Bardgett and THE CYCLING BULLETIN (published by Otto Eisele) were also merged into the American Bicyclist & Motorcyclist (aka ABM). |
