In 1887 George Nellis became the third person to ride across the United States, from Herkimer, New York to San Francisco, shaving several weeks off Thomas Stevens’ time, thus becoming the first to “race across the United States.” Throughout this account, Hayes reports on the state of bicycle touring in the late nineteenth century.
