New Yorker Bicycle Covers.
"...since 1928, a bicycle in one shape, or form has been in the cover art of the new yorker well over 100 times."

How many times has the human form been on the cover?

Oh, if this were true. I've been through the archived images and used two search engines. I can't even come up with half of Mr. Sachs' number. Maybe that was "ATMO". The total I have is 47 covers. Here are the leading cover illustrators:
Jean Jacques Sempé is in his 90s and has produced 10 total from '83 thru '18.
Arthur Getz did 4 from '73 thru '85.
Saul Steinberg did 4 from '66 thru '95
Charles E. Martin has 3 covers from '69 thru '86.
Three of Sempé didn't exist when this was published. I tabulated this count in October of 2019.
