Thomas Stevens fu un intrépido avventuriero, rinomato come la prima persona a circumnavigare il globo in bicicletta. Il suo epico viaggio, intrapreso su una bicicletta Ordinary (conosciuta anche come penny-farthing), durò dall'aprile 1884 al dicembre 1886. Dopo questa notevole impresa, Stevens continuò le sue esplorazioni globali, in particolare la ricerca di Henry Morton Stanley in Africa e l'indagine sulle affermazioni di asceti indiani. Alla fine si stabilì a Londra, gestendo il Garrick Theatre.
