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]
