Catalogs and lists
Several members of the Club published bicycle stamp lists of catalogs on their own initiative and effort and not as Club projects.
They vary in completeness, information per entry, language in which they are printed, cost, and whether or not illustrated.
Members who publish catalogs or lists are: Batho (English), Hilarides (French), Malone (English), Pöpperl (German) and Tibbe (Dutch).
At this moment only Hilarides catalog is updated. It is available at a small cost from Hilarides.
Stamps and appropiate cyclophilatelic material to sell/buy.
