Charles A. Bailey, founding organizer of the Sierra Club, was a bikepacker

Imagine a founder of the Sierra Club, a bikepacker who traveled by bicycle on dirt roads and trails, camping wherever he pleased, a man who climbed all the routes in Yosemite, a real estate mogul who could live like a tramp, a man headed for a tragic fate.

Charles Augustus Bailey was a signer and witness of the articles of incorporation of the Sierra Club, on June 4, 1892:

He discovered and named "Sierra Point" in Yosemite valley:

The Wheelmen 

Not a run, but rather a "climb and coast" this time was the programme of the Bay Citys yesterday. The 8 o'clock boat to Sausalito found the boys all ready for the ride, which they started at Ross Station, and walked and climbed to the very top of the mountain, about two hours from the station. A register in the book at the top, lunch, a survey of the really magnificent view from that point, the great ocean on one side, San Francisco and San Pablo bays on the other, with the pretty valleys at the base of the mountain, and then the descent. It may have taken two hours to reach the summit, but considerably less than half that time was necessary to get back. The scorchers went on via Corte Madera to Sausalito, while the others took the train at Ross Station.

Scrolls Are Presented to Relatives of Alameda County's Fallen Heroes

The honor roll of Alameda County men and women who made the great sacrifice, and who will be appropriately and lovingly remembered today during the Armistice Day celebration by the presentation of scrolls to their next of kin, includes the names of 325 heroes. Four of them are women, one of whom, Miss Marian Crandell, was killed in France.

How is this possible?

It turns out that Chatham County GA reported no mail in ballots. This is a fucking fiasco in my state. Do we need the UN to step in? Fuck. pic.twitter.com/HzTCZhzETX

A DEVELOPING FACTOR. - The San Francisco Call, 23 Jun 1895, Sun, Page 18

A DEVELOPING FACTOR. 23 Jun 1895, Sun The San Francisco Call (San Francisco, California) Newspapers.com

A DEVELOPING FACTOR. 

Assuming that the; bicycle is a permanent institution it is not difficult to foresee the peculiar effect which it will have on the growth and development of San Francisco. It being an established fact that cheap and swift urban transportation is an exceedingly important factor in determining the character and extent of a city's spread, and the bicycle having proved its ability to compete with all kinds of street railways and livery service, two considerations now present themselves. One is that the districts having the smoothest pavements will be those which develop most rapidly, and the other is settlement will proceed most easily in level and approximately level areas.

Wheelmen's Rest

At CaliSphere there's this picture:

Villa Miramar (from which the bicycle trips would start) -- Wheelman's [i.e. Wheelmen's] Rest, on the Great Highway.

I was curious about it. Notice the sign at left, "WHEELMENS REST", the trolley car in the dunes in the distance, and the cabin just visible to the left, rear of the Villa Miramar. It was the "WHEELMENS REST" that brought me to the page. I'm very curious about our local, bicycle past. Wheelman was the phrase for (male) bicyclist at the time. Bicycles were called 'wheels'.

From Bicycles West:

The Villa Miramar, a bar at the end of today's Irving Street, put up a sign advertising itself as the "Wheelmen's Rest." North of the park, Adolph Sutro had a three-story chalet erected on the southwest corner of La Playa and Fulton Street that he named "Cycler's Rest."
