... j.b. wadley. an old friend sent me this the other day (somewhat chewed up in a lower corner, my curent cat tears the corner of my magazines but we're working on that, we'll not really :)

... anyway, it's a little hardback that would be difficult to justify printing today (or even two decades ago). it's from 1975.

... great pic of a horse trying to drink out of a parked bike with those double water bottles on the front bar on page 39, somewhere in the scotish highland.

... and the little two-page colour center peice is super neat ... "members of the international bicycle society in a danish village during a 1974 group ride." it's obvious those folks were ready to boogie (dig the thatched roof house in the back, the black knee socks, those little leather cycling shoes, the packed bags ... and ... the blond tour guide). bet they met with a smorgasbord later down the road.

... anyway, cute little artifact from the not-so-distant past. oh well :)
