 | | Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale. | The American Bicyclist and Motorcyclist magazine is a consolidation of several prior bicycle publications that were acquired and/or merged through the years. Ultimately, David Meyers purchased the publication and renamed it The American Bicyclist and Motorcyclist. David`s wife, Florence and son Stu were both active in the business. Each monthly issue is full of editorial and advertisements that chronicle the bicycle industry for the period. Howie & his family worked closely with Stuart Meyers for many years. Stu sold the publication in the 1990s and it is currently being published by The League of American Bicyclists as a magazine for the advocacy of bicycling & bicyclists (quite different from the previous format). Stu passed away in 2007 at age 83, may God rest his soul. This issue includes information about the 1969 bike lines from Rollfast & Columbia, the grand opening of Huffman`s Celina facility, the report about the 1969 Japan Cycle Show and other valuable information. The dimensions are 8 x 11 inches. BTW, I led a group of top bicycle retailers to visit the Japan Cycle Show and many of the important bicycle & component parts factories. Our group was tagged as THE AMERICAN EAGLE BICYCLE TOUR. See the picture gallery.
