- Description: William Chadeayne was an American long‑distance motorcyclist who set a North American transcontinental record in 1905.

- Description: Reinhardt (Harry) and Edgar Cebulla, cousins from Gleiwitz in Upper Silesia, undertook in the late 1920s a journey with the so-called “Curry-Landskiff,” a bicycle design inspired by Manfred Curry. According to Reinhardt’s diary they departed on May 25, 1927 from Gleiwitz, today Gliwice in Poland. This was not a world tour but rather a trip across Germany and parts of Central Europe during the Weimar Republic. The diary recounts the anticipation of the new bicycle, training rides with cousin Edgar, and visits to towns and sites, some of which were later lost or transformed by war. The book also discusses Manfred Curry’s technical innovations and reflects on the concept of “world travelers” at that time, a notion very different from today
