In 1895, the first woman cycled around the world. She was a suffragist and mother of 3, her name was Annie Londonderry. The Annie Londonderry website is full of fun info. Around The World On Two Wheels is the book about of her extraordinary journey written by her great grand nephew and author Peter Zeutlin. A Flash From The Way Past is the story that appeared here when Peter contacted me to let me know that Annie would be proud of us women on wheels.
