50 Years Ago: Dec 1968 in Bicycling! magazine (formerly American Cycling)

This is the first issue of Bicycling! magazine, previously known as American Cycling.
"The Magazine of Touring, Racing, and Family Bicycling" is dead. Long live "The World's Greatest Bicycle Magazine".

This inaugural issue certainly contained an interesting mix of articles.
In addition to the Cover, ToC, and Bike and Equipment Review. I've included:
"Fun Follows a New Cycle" -- I cringe and wonder if the child is still alive or if the father still has any hair.
"Touring Couples Enjoy Autumn in Vermont and New Hampshire" -- I cringe at what must be called.....has to be called...Dead Man's Curve, and wonder how many grave markers are there now.
"From Hoopskirts to Nudity" -- I cringe at the writing.
"The Sky's the Limit (Mt. Baldy Hillclimb) -- I cringe while reading paragraph 3.

Let me know if you'd like to see something else listed in the ToC and I'll do my best to send you a pdf or attach one to this post.

Happy holidays! See all y'all 50 years ago next month.
