HISTORICAL NOTE The Cycle Trades of America, formed in 1904 and located at 122 East 42nd St., New York, NY, established the Bicycle Institute of America (BIA) in 1938 (1). After World War II, it encompassed many industry trade associations representing bicycle parts manufacturers, wholesalers, and major national retailers. These member organizations included the Bicycle Manufacturers Association of America, Cycle Parts and Accessories Association, Cycle Jobbers Association, National Bicycle Dealers Association, and the Bicycle Wholesale Distributers Association (1).

The BIA cultivated and maintained working relationships with government agencies, like the Department of Transportation, and environmental agencies, and served as the trade industry’s official voice in Washington and state legislatures. The BIA lobbied for and promoted with a focus on children. During the 1960s they added health and infrastructure to their mission, with Dr. Paul Dudley White as their spokesperson, and distributed free printed materials on themes of safety, organizing bicycle clubs, and staging bike rallies. The BIA held several yearly events including the Congressional Breakfast, attended by eighty-four congressmen, and the Bike Month program, and financed the national championships for bicycle racing. They produced and distributed films at no charge and stored a supply of antique in New York and Hollywood that were made available, at no cost, to advertising agencies, filmmakers, newspapers, and fashion studios. These promotional activities coincided with the growth and popularity of bicycling by the early 1970s. The BIA ceased functioning at the end of 1974 when the popularity of bicycling dropped.

Since 1946, John Auerbach served as Executive Secretary and Executive Director for both the BIA and the Bicycle Manufacturers Association (BMA). The BMA was incorporated as the Bicycle Manufacturers Association of America, Inc. on July 21, 1965. Since approximately 1950, the BMA served as the principal financial underwriter of the BIA, held annual meetings, and conducted public relations as the BIA until the early 1970s. In 1975, the BMA continued the BIA’s efforts to promote bicycle safety, recreation, bicycle legislation, and trade activities. In the same year, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint that industry groups of which the BMA was a part, such as the Cycle Parts and Accessories Association, the National Bicycle Dealers association, and the Bicycle Wholesale Distributers Association, worked too closely with each other, resulting in the breakup of the coalition. Subsequently, the BMA moved their offices to Washington D.C. to run a government relations program and carry on the publication of BIA’s Boom and Bikeways newsletter.

The BMA went out of existence in approximately 1985, leaving a void regarding industry support and involvement in bicycle promotion. Manufacturers during this time period experienced a decline in their market shares. With the BMA gone, the trade companies came together to recreate the initiative that the BMA continued for the BIA. As a result, the Bicycle Federation of America (BFA) managed the industry promotion effort, renaming themselves the Bicycle Promotion Organization (BPO). The BPO changed their name to the Bicycle Institute of America in 1987 with no relation to the original organization or approval of the Bicycle Institute of America to reuse their name. The records of both the BFA and BPO can be found in SC-0253 National Center for Bicycling and Walking records.
