International Cycle Sport was a British cycling magazine that covered British and European road racing. It had 199 issues between May 1968 and December 1984.

History

International Cycle Sport was the idea of Kennedy Brothers Publishing, a printing company in Keighley, Yorkshire, owned by three brothers.[1] With help from cycle parts importer and advertiser Ron Kitching, they brought in Jock Wadley as editor, who was head of the newly defunct Sporting Cyclist.[2][3]

By 1972, the magazine was selling around the world, with a special issue for the United States that had different centre pages for local stories.[4]
