Bike (magazine)
''Bike'' is a British motorcycling magazine that was established and edited by journalist Mark Williams in 1971, originally as a one-off ''Car'' magazine special.

Other contributors included: LJK Setright, who wrote the "Cog-swapping" column; Jim Greening who wrote the "Short Circuits" column; and the pseudonymous "Hap Spoons" who wrote "Odds & Sods".
