A bicycle magazine from 1883 online
Actually "Outing" magazine was a general outdoor recreation magazine,
but bicycling seems to be the main theme in the early years. I think it was affiliated with the "League of American Wheelmen". Articles are archived in PDF format, index starts with 1883 at: http://www.aafla.org/index/outing1883.html I'm especially interested in Karl Kron's Nova Scotia bicycle tour article: http://www.aafla.org/SportsLibrary/O...1/outIV01c.pdf Kron later (1887) collected his bicycle touring articles into a book, "Ten Thousand Miles on a Bicycle" -- David Dermott , Wolfville Ridge, Nova Scotia, Canada WWW pages: http://www.dermott.ca/index.html |

Thanks for posting that, David. Excellent work. You can take the rest of the day off. If your boss gives you grief, send 'em my way and I'll straighten them right out as to what is important and not.

Kron later (1887) collected his bicycle touring articles into a book, "Ten Thousand Miles on a Bicycle" I have a facsimile copy published quite a few years ago. Kron's book was privately published by prepaid subscription and there weren't that many copies to begin with. It's quite tedious reading, for the most part, being practically a pebble-by-pebble description of his rides. He did avail himself of going to some interesting locales, though. |
