The Lost Cyclist Book Event

Got this in the email, looks like a good time for you that like the reading about bikes.

————

I’m the Boston-based author of Bicycle: The History (Yale University Press). This summer, I have a new book coming out called The Lost Cyclist. It’s about Frank Lenz, a young man who left his home in PIttsburgh in the spring of 1892 to cycle around the world on a new-fangled “pneumatic safety” (the prototype of the modern bicycle), only to disappear mysteriously in Turkey two years into his epic journey. It’s already getting great reviews.

On June 24, 6 pm, I’m giving a presentation and book signing at the Boston Public Library as part of their spring author series. I’m working on getting a free bike valet parking service set up for the event. I will give a digital slideshow of photographs Lenz took before his world tour (on an old-fashioned “high-wheeler”) and during (crossing the US, Japan, China, Burma, India, and Persia).

Regards,
David
