David Herlihy: 'The Lost Cyclist'
"The Lost Cyclist" is the story of adventurer Frank Lenz, a young man who pedaled off from his home in 1892 with the dream of cycling around the world on a new-fangled "safety" bicycle (the modern prototype). David V. Herlihy is a historian and freelance writer. For the past decade, he has researched extensively the invention and early development of the bicycle. His work has been featured on National Public Radio and Voice of America and in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Boston Magazine, and Historic Preservation.
