Cycle News Archives Launches, Nearly 50 Years of Back Issues

Cycle News Online Archives

Do you want to relive the great history of motorcycling, learn more about the amazing bikes and personalities that helped build the sport or simply find your name in the results section from races long ago?

For nearly 50 years, Cycle News has covered the sport of motorcycling with a weekly magazine. Now, for the price of a regular magazine, you can get online access to all 2,300+ back issues of Cycle News.

Paul Carruthers (Longtime Editor of the Weekly Cycle News) says: “It’s amazing to have almost 50 years of Cycle News at your fingertips. The staff has always had the archives available in bound volumes to turn to since day one. Now we’re giving that same opportunity to the rest of the world.”

The issues are organized by decades, starting with the 1960s and spanning nearly six decades to the current 2013 issues. While these weekly snapshots of motorcycling history may be priceless, access to the digital archives is much more affordable: A subscription is just $1.99 for three months of access, or $4.99 for a full year of access to each decade.

Better yet, the Cycle News Archives can be read on any device equipped with a web browser (MAC, PC, tablets like the iPad or your smart phone). You can also use up to three devices with the same subscription.

Paul Carruthers says: “I’m really pleased to see how this archival process turned out. I just hope we don’t disrupt too many relationships or get too many people fired because they can’t stop re-living the past.”
