Iron Riders: Story of the 1890s Fort Missoula Buffalo Soldier Bicycle Corps

Iron Riders: Story of the 1890s Fort Missoula Buffalo Soldier Bicycle Corps Review



This is the lively story of the only bicycle corps the U.S. Army ever authorized. Using buffalo soldiers, this 1890s African-American unit conducted drills and exercises on wheels. They rode into Northern Montana on muddy trails and toured Yellowstone on their 100-pound iron bicycles. As proof of their capabilities, these Iron Riders pedaled 1,900 miles from Ft. Missoula, across the snow-dusted Rocky Mountains and steamy Great Plains, to St. Louis. As they approached the city over 1,000 civilian bicyclists rode out to escort them into town in a great parade. Learn more about the adventures of this little known buffalo soldier unit and fascinating details about this era in America. Well researched and a good read. Full of rare pictures and drawings.

How To Rock and Roll : A City Rider's Repair Manual Review



"Sam Tracy is the world's Most Dangerous Bike Mechanic! He wants you to ENJOY fixing your bike! He not only wants you to adjust your own bike, he wants you to adjust your attitude! His no-nonsense midwestern radicalism blasts the lycra-chrome designer consumerism that plagues bicycling in its place he asserts the autonomy and human freedom he fervently believes a daily bicyclist can enjoy. This visionary prole hurls invective and epithets, lampoons pretensions and sparks our imaginations. Fix your bike? Sure! Fix the world, too? Why not?!?" Chris Carlsson , Critical Mass pioneer
