Origin[]
Thomas Stevens was the first person to cycle around the world from April 1864 to December 1886. He rode only when roads were navigable, starting from Sacramento and moving in a hundred days to Boston on the other side of the United States. He next traveled through Europe, beginning in England and then moving through Central Europe, Turkey and the Middle East. He was denied entrance into Siberia so he altered his trip to India, followed up by the last leg of his journey to China and Japan. Later in life, Stevens unsuccessfully tried to located explorer Henry Morton Stanley.
Effects[]
