with a new introduction and notes by Thomas Pauly

1072 pages, 108 engravings, 6" x 9" map

Account of the first man to ride a bicycle around the world. A classic, first published in 1887.

In 1884, Thomas Stevens left San Francisco on a Columbia high wheeler with the outrageous goal of becoming the first man to ride a bicycle across the United States. �When he reached Boston, he decided to continue around the world, and sonn sailed to London for the ride across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. �The high-wheeler was heavy and cumbersome, his supplies were limited to socks, a spare shirt, and a slicker that doubled as tent and bedroll, and much of the country he traversed was wild. �Yet he persevered, recording his colorful and often harrowing adventures during the three-year odyssey in a classic of 19th century adventure and travel writing. �

About the Editor:

Thomas Pauly is a professor of English at the University of Delaware. �He has written on a broad range of subjects, including books on Elia Kazan and the musical Chicago.
