We love travel, adventure, and motorcycles, so of course we love this story From Atlas Obscura by Sarah Slaskow about George Wyman‘s navigation– by motorcycle– of the United States, before there was any dedicated road to do so. Wyman was the first to cross the US by motor vehicle, taking over 50 days to do so. There was a made scramble by many people to be the first, and several people were trying simultaneously. Wyman probably thought things trough the most, using railroad tracks and following a northerly passage to avoid the worst o the Rockies.
