=== ''REMEMBER WHEN...'' ===
Pedal pushers got the populace all steamed up over [[:Category:1896 annual 100-mile relay race|the 100-mile bicycle race around San Francisco Bay]], 'way back in the gay nineties? The sport of bicycling was then a real man's game, and two-wheel athletic events were not confined to the [[six-day race]] arenas. Wheelmen of the Oakland [[Acme Athletic Club]] started contesting with San Francisco teams in 1893, and returned the winner in a number of annual contests. The boys burned up the road, too. The races started at [https://goo.gl/maps/P2jE5dYzZMJHLWAL6 Third and Market Streets San Francisco], and the route lay via San Jose to [https://goo.gl/maps/L9Hmsn9sHRrS97Wq6 Twelfth and Broadway, Oakland].

Time for the first year's race was five hours, 48 minutes, 51 and two-fifths seconds.
