by bikedenton
Owen from TuesdayBikeNight found this in 1964’s Venture World Traveler at a Denton thrift store. I think the author is *the* Peter Bart. The article is about college kids going abroad, but I mostly dig the graphic and typography. Cool find.

With last week’s criterium getting cancelled due to lightning and rain, I was ready and motivated to race hard this week!
