On July 19, 2022, I displayed my 1896 Buffalo Soldier bike in Laclede, Missouri at the 125th Anniversary Celebration of the 25th Cycling Corps' historic ride from Ft. Missoula, Montana to St. Louis. I had the pleasure of meeting several reenactors, as well as some descendents of the Buffalo Soldiers who fought in the Indian Wars and hunted buffalo on the Great Plains well over a century ago.
Note: The younger rider with the beautiful long hair was riding the 1900 mile route taken by the Buffalo Soldiers, although on improved roads and somewhat less challenging terrain, on a modern bicycle.
