Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph caption dated June 23, 1956 reads "Bicycle racing 'jam' begins. Little Jackie Frost, 9, of Sun Valley starts a 'jam.' When one cyclist breaks away from group, others pick up speeds reaching 40 mph in straight-a-way. He is mascot of North Hollywood Wheelmen's Club formed in 1946. They are shown racing through rugged Little Tujunga Canyon en route to Solemint Canyon, more than 20 miles away. Cyclists touring all day carry food stuffed in pockets and water canteens strapped to bicycle frames." The article partially reads "Piston-legged cyclists of the North Hollywood Wheelman's Club are using the rugged canyons surrounding San Fernando Valley as a training site to ready for the Australian Olympic Games this fall."; See images #00145214 through #00145219 for all photos in this series.
