” … about as gutsy a bargain
traveler as they come.”
- New York Times Book Review

In 1890, two recent graduates of 
Washington University in St.
Louis set off on the first “round
the world” tour on “safety”
bicycles (the modern prototype).
They took along an early Kodak
camera to chronicle their
adventures. For the past three
decades, UCLA has held a substantial
collection of fragile nitrate negatives capturing the
photos these two took during the year 1891, covering
the portion of their journey from Athens to Tashkent.
They have now been scanned, and author David
Herlihy will give a slideshow featuring the most
interesting images.

We are excited to
announce that the
2013 Bike Expo will
feature a Red Bull
AYR Bag Demo.
Professional mountain
bikers will attempt
heights and practice tricks they would
never dream of doing on a concrete or a hard
packed dirt landing! The Ayr Bag absorbs the
athletes impact, which allows them to train
confidently and accelerates their progression.
Two 20 Minute Demos will be conducted on
both Friday & Saturday.
