Set in the late 1880s, the narrative follows Frank Lenz, a Pittsburgh high-wheel racer, as he embarks on an ambitious journey to cycle around the world. Transitioning to the emerging safety bicycle, he leaves his accounting job to cover twenty thousand miles across three continents for Outing magazine. Over two years, Lenz faces numerous challenges and near disasters. As he nears Europe, the story captures his adventurous spirit and the transformative era of cycling that shaped modern road biking.
