Thomas Gaskell Allen, jr. (American, born 1868, later British citizen) and William Lewis Sachtleben (American, died 13.12.1953 in Laudeedale, Florida)
+ Across Asia on a Bicycle and + Around-The-World. A bicycle tour Around-The-World by two American students Thomas Gaskell Allen and William Lewis Sachtleben. They were inspired by Thomas Stevens two books; "Around the World on a Bicycle".
A 15.044 miles tour RTW with two "Humber Safety Bicycles". Their 8.000 miles trip through USA and Europe is not described in their book. - They took 2.500 fotos of their trip. But they are lost somehow until 2014.
Evald Bengtsson in Sweden: During the journey through Turkey did they ascent of Mount Ararat. With Iran on the pilgrim route to Mashad. Furthermore, through Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and into China at Kuldja. They went through the Gobi Desert where one leg of 400 miles was headwind of storm strength and loose sand so they were forced to lug the bikes. Until Komna they had no soles on your shoes and clothes in rags. They reached the end of the Great Wall of China at Dyou-my-shan.
In China they overnighted in filthy mud huts among lice and flies. Upon arrival in Beijing was the bikes in scrap condition. They were the first riders in a country where there are now many hundreds of millions of bicycles. They performed, without maps and signposts, a journey on roads that at best it was camel trails.
The whole trip was on a budget and they lived on the same food as the population. They must constantly learn them most necessary phrases in the language of your areas passed. The book describes a lot of people who live by the distance and the living conditions as well as some historical facts."

Wkipedia:
Vorgeschichte: Schon 1891 erregte Lenz mit einer Fahrradfahrt von Pittsburg nach New Orleans Aufsehen. Gesponsert vom Magazin Outing und von der Overman Bicycle Company, startete er am 4. Juni 1892 seine Weltumrundung.[1] M. Reymond schrieb dazu in dem Buch Illustrierte Länder und Völkerkunde: „25 Jahre alt und von kleinem, gedrungenen, äußerst kräftigen Körperbau, besaß Lenz eine außerordentliche Ausdauer und vermochte selbst in hügeligem Terrain und auf sandigen Straßen 100 englische Meilen an einem Tage zurückzulegen, ohne besondere Müdigkeit zu verspüren.“[2]
Reiseroute: Im Gegensatz zu seinen Vorgängern, die aufgrund der vorherrschenden Westwinde die Durchquerung Amerikas in West-Ost-Richtung durchgeführt hatten, startete Lenz in New York und durchquerte Amerika in Richtung Westen, wobei er einen Umweg nach Kanada nicht scheute. In San Francisco schiffte er sich nach Yokohama ein.
Er war der erste Radfahrer überhaupt in Nord-China, über das damals in der westlichen Welt noch wenig bekannt war, und die New York Times schrieb später über seine Reise durch jene Gegend: „His experiences in that country were most remarkable, and his achievements on that trip in that territory alone would well crown a man's life. Probably no Caucasians, except missionaries, ever traveled over that territory in Northern China.“[3]. Über Shanghai und Burma fuhr er mit dem Rad nach Indien und weiter nach Persien. Die letzte Nachricht von ihm stammt vom 2. Mai 1894, als er Tabriz in Richtung Istanbul verließ.

The articles Lenz sent to Outing detailing his journey. He rode alone across the United States from east to west before riding through interior China to Burma and then across India and Persia. He left a small Kurdish village in Asiatic Turkey, only to be murdered before he reached Erzurum. Following an investigation with attracted national attention, conducted in part by William Sachtleben, the Turkish government paid his mother an indemnity. - These Infos out of the bookliste of Ducan R.

Purpose: Der angebliche Grund für ihre Reise war eine Wette zwischen zwei Geschäftsleuten aus Boston, die behauptet haben sollen, dass eine Frau eine solche Reise nicht schaffen würde. Diese Wette ist allerdings genau so wenig verbürgt wie die Bedingungen, nach denen sie ohne Geld losfahren, aber 5000 Dollar mit zurückbringen sollte. Um dieses Geld zu verdienen, machte Anna Kopchovsky Werbung, unter anderem für ein Mineralwasser namens Londonderry, weshalb sie für die Fahrt den Namen Annie Londonderry annahm.
Route: N-Amerika (USA, Boston-Chicago. Für diese Strecke brauchte sie vier Monate, was zum einen an falscher Kleidung (langer Rock, geschlossene Bluse) zum anderen am falschen Fahrrad (zu schwer) lag. So gelang es ihr nicht, vor Wintereinbruch die Berge in Richtung Westen zu überqueren. Deshalb beschloss sie, in die entgegengesetzte Richtung nach New York in geeigneter Kleidung (Pluderhosen, Männerjacke) und mit einem leichteren Fahrrad zurückzufahren. - Von New York bestieg per Schiff nach Frankreich. Per Fahrrad von Le Havre nach Marseille - per Schiff....bis ??. Am 23. März 1895 kam sie in San Francisco an. Welche Städte und Länder sie in der Zwischenzeit besuchte und welche Strecken sie mit dem Fahrrad fuhr, ist nicht genau nachzuprüfen. Sicher sind Stationen wie Singapur und Saigon, aber ein von ihr behaupteter Abstecher auf die Schlachtfelder des Japanisch-Chinesischen Krieges ist eher unwahrscheinlich – so wie viele andere Geschichten, die sie unterwegs oder nach ihrer Rückkehr erzählte.
Publications: She did not write a book. Nach 24. September 1895: Es erschien noch ein von ihr verfasster Bericht in einer New Yorker Tageszeitung. Danach gerieten sie und ihre Großtat ins Vergessen.

Annie Londonderry on June 25, 1894, the day she officially began her trip
“I bet twenty thousand pounds . . . that I will make the tour of the world in eighty days or less,” declares Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s 1872 classic Around the World in Eighty Days. By the 1880s, several real-life daredevils had sworn that they could do Verne’s hero one better. In a publicity stunt that captured attention around the world, an enterprising journalist named Nellie Bly combined the hot topics of around-the-world travel and women’s liberation by circling the globe in just seventy-two days; Thomas Stevens, meanwhile, took advantage of the cycling craze and did it on two wheels (though the trip took him 103 days).
And then there was Annie Kopchovsky. Neither a dashing journalist nor an accomplished athlete, Kopchovsky was a Latvian immigrant living in a tenement in Boston with her husband and three young children. Spying the unlikeliest of business opportunities for someone in her position, she boasted to the press that she intended to bicycle around the globe in fifteen months, raising money for her journey along the way. To give her braggadocio additional spice, she claimed that two businessmen had made a wager on whether or not she would succeed. By the time she left Boston in 1895, Kopchovsky had attracted enough attention that the Londonderry Lithia Spring Water Company paid her $100 to adopt the surname “Londonderry” for the duration of her trip.
From Trinidad to Jerusalem, the newly global media covered Kopchovsky. In the end, she may have done more bragging than biking—often as not, it seems, she took the train. But her audiences, like Verne’s, were spellbound by her real and fabricated tales of adventure.
The legend of Annie Londonderry had been largely forgotten by the time Kopchovsky’s great-grandnephew, Peter Zheutlin, a journalist and avid bicyclist, discovered her story. He also discovered Mary, a distant cousin, who filled in the details missing from the public record—like the fact that Kopchovsky’s daughter scandalized the family by converting to Catholicism and becoming a nun. His new book, Around the World on Two Wheels, recounts Annie’s private and personal tales.
Erhard Lessing: The first known tour
Around-The-World by bicycle by a woman.
28.10.2014 Amazons words for the book: Until 1894 there were no female sport stars, no product endorsement deals, and no young mothers with the chutzpah to circle the globe on a bicycle. Annie Kopchovsky changed all of that.
Annie was a Jewish immigrant and working mother of three living in a Boston tenement with her husband, a peddler. This was as close to the American dream as she was likely to get—until she became part of what one newspaper called "one of the most novel wagers ever made": a high-stakes bet between two wealthy merchants that a woman could not ride around the world on a bicycle, as Thomas Stevens had a few years before. Annie rose to the challenge, pledging to finish her fifteen-month trip with a staggering $5,000 earned by selling advertising space on her bike and her clothing, making personal appearances in stores and at bicycle races, and lecturing about her adventures along the way. When the Londonderry Lithia Springs Water Company of New Hampshire offered to become the first of her many sponsors, Annie Kopchovsky became Annie Londonderry, and a legend was born. So began one of the greatest escapades—and publicity stunts—of the Victorian Age.
In this marvelously written book, author Peter Zheutlin vividly recounts the story of the audacious woman who turned every Victorian notion of female propriety on its ear. When Annie left Boston in June 1894, she was a brash young lady with a 42-pound bicycle, a revolver, a change of underwear, and a dream of freedom. The epic journey that followed—from a frigid ride through France to an encounter with outlaw John Wesley Hardin in El Paso—took the connection between athletics and commercialism to dizzying new heights and turned Annie into a symbol of sexual equality.
A beguiling true story of a bold spirit who reinvented herself against all odds, Around the World on Two Wheels blends social history and high adventure into an unforgettable portrait of
Mit dem Fahrrad um die Welt : Die außergewöhnliche Radreise der Annie Londonderry anno 1895 / von Peter Zheutlin
Erste Frau, die mit dem Fahrrad die Welt umrundet
Annie Londonderrys 15-monatige Odyssee rund um die Welt in den Jahren 1894 und 1895 war ein waghalsiges und beispielloses, schillerndes, fantastisches, wenn auch verworrenes, Kapitel in der Geschichte des Fahrradfahrens. Es gibt wirklich keinen Weg, den Einfluss von Annies Abenteuer auf den großen Kampf um Gleichberechtigung zu messen und herauszufinden, wie viele Frauen davon begeistert und beflügelt wurden. Annies Reise verkörperte in perfekter Weise das Zusammenwachsen der Frauenbewegung mit dem Fahrrad-Boom und ist deshalb ein kleines, aber aufschlussreiches Kapitel in der Geschichte der Frauen um die Jahrhundertwende.
-----
Annie Kopchovsky war eine jüdische Einwanderin und berufstätige Mutter bis sie sich an „einer der ungewöhnlichsten Wetten, die je gemacht wurden“ beteiligte: Zwei Kaufleute hatten gewettet, dass eine Frau nicht fähig sei, die Welt auf einem Fahrrad zu umrunden. Die unglaubliche Summe von 5.000 Dollar sollte durch den Verkauf von Werbeflächen auf ihrem Fahrrad und ihrer Kleidung sowie Vorträgen über ihre Reise-Abenteuer verdient werden. Aus Annie Kopchovsky wurde Annie Londonderry, und eine Legende war geboren. So begann eines der größten Abenteuer und der größte Werbefeldzug des Viktorianischen Zeitalters. Als Annie im Juni 1894 Boston verließ – „Ich hatte keine Lust, mein Leben zu Hause zu verbringen, jedes Jahr mit einem neuen Baby unter der Schürze.“ – war sie eine kecke junge Frau mit einem etwa 42 Pfund schweren Fahrrad, einem Revolver, Unterwäsche zum Wechseln und einem Traum von Freiheit. Die lange, abenteuerliche Reise schuf eine neuartige, schwindelerregende Verbindung von Sport und Kommerz und machte Annie zu einem Symbol der Gleichberechtigung. Eine bezaubernde, wahre Geschichte über eine Frau mit Wagemut, die allen Widrigkeiten zum Trotz ihrem Leben einen neuen Sinn gab und die die viktorianischen Vorstellungen von Schicklichkeit über Bord war.
Zheutlin, Peter. Around the world on two wheels: one woman; one voyage; one unforgettable journey. New York: Citadel Press, 2007 {16626760}
Annie Kopchovsky (nee Cohen, 187?-1947) assumed the name Londonderry to travel around the world with a bicycle. As Zheutlin discovers, she invented much of the story, including the supposed wager, riding little of the land distance, traveling rather by means other than wheeling. Even though it is not a bicycle journey, it is a fascinating story.
