Steve’s second newsletter article about cycling history in Lewiston. You’ll need to click on the The rest of the Story. This is in pdf.

Early bicycle enthusiast Samuel Edgar “Ed” Arant operated a bicycle shop at Fifth Street at the rear of the old Weisgerber building that preceded the present structure- back when Lewiston’s post office was on the corner of Main and Fifth. His 1939 obituary says, “through his efforts the (bicycle) craze that swept through the country in the early 1890’s became manifest in Lewiston.

Once again, thanks to Steve Largent.

Twin Rivers Cyclists
Lewiston’s Bicycling Club in the 1890’s
by Steve Largent from January, 2000 issue Twin Rivers Cyclists

Do you remember when the club was “originally” organized? Do you know who first rode a bicycle from Lewiston to Spokane or Moscow? Here’s evidence you don’t unless you’re hiding your age well.

Thanks to Steve for providing the photograph and article from the club’s newsletter. Now we’ve got to get him to tell who had that first Trans-Spokane record. I hope he wrote that second article in the series and can find it.

I was disappointed when one of us asked for unsubscribe information. Turns out he was dismayed by the many messages. This new page will help you use the list efficiently and allow you to subscribe if you haven’t already. Okay, it also gives you unsubscribe information.
Come on in, the biking’s fine.

I don’t have any data or pictures on this event. I know I took some one year, but they’ve disappeared. I only need one or two.

Can anyone write up a decent summary of this event including what you must do to enter this race?

I’ve been busy this week. Not only is there actual content on the Joseph and Huckleberry pages, but I’ve now got the feedback forms working for folks to let us know they would like to attend a ride, help by driving sag, or volunteer for an event like Bite the Bullet.

When the form is filled out, I get a message. When we get close to the date of the event, I’ll sent out a reminder.

Here’s a twist. If you are a member of this blog, you can post information to the main page of Twinriverscyclists.org.

Only the most recent 10 items will show, but you can always visit the link and read all the posts.

If you are reading this, I don’t have to tell you our web page has changed its look.

Pete Beall has retired as webmaster. We thank Pete for all his years of service and for being first to see the advantage of a webpresence for the club. We hope Pete will continue to provide pdfs for the time trials.

Look around and come back often. Oh, things, they are a changin’
