PLUCK ON WHEELS.

A Young San Francisco 'Cyclist's Rough Mountain Journey.

Last evening about 9 o'clock J. M. Kreiss, of the Bay City Wheelmen arrived in this city after a long trip on his safety bicycle to Lake Tahoe and vicinity.

He left Sacramento just two weeks ago yesterday, and made Nevada City before dark on that day. From there he struck out over the mountainous road to Tahoe. After spending a day in riding around the lake, he started homeward, and reached this city yesterday after a ride of ninety-five miles during the day. The total distance traveled was 550 miles, and Mr. Kreiss appears to be none the worse for his rough experience. All that he carried was a small bundle tied to the handle of his machine, and a knife and pistol which he had strapped to a belt at his waist. He was attired in an ordinary bicycle suit. 

A number of the Capital City Wheelmen of this city met him, and congratulated him on his successful and daring trip.
