Summary
In the spring of 1892, Frank G. Lenz, a gallant young accountant and expert amateur photographer from a modest German-American family, set forth from his unhappy home in Pittsburgh to circle the globe atop a new 'safety' bicycle with inflatable tyres. Two years, fourteen thousand miles and many adventures later, just as he was about to enter Europe for the home stretch, Lenz vanished. Including many rare photos, The Lost Cyclist recounts his short but remarkable life
