Book Review: The Lost Cyclist (Comments: 0)

An interesting true story about two attempts to circle the globe (or at least the land masses on the globe) by bicycle. The second attempt ends in the disappearance of the cyclist, so the cyclist from the first attempt sets out to find out what happened. This all takes place in the 1890s as the modern bicycle is coming into its own. The book is a bit slow, but the details are very interesting and the picture it paints of that era is fascinating. By David Herlihy, the author of the excellent Bicycle: The History.
