It is interesting to revisit these old magazines, way back I would read them at the public library. I was earnestly saving for a road bike.
as a birthday present in 1972? 73? My mom got me a subscription to the new The Two Wheel Trip mag, thick, glossy, as a charter subscriber even received a poster of the launch cover art. That and the first issue then nada.
the second issue that did make it to newsstands never made it to the house.
by the time I called to ask, their phone had been disconnected.
