Acclaimed bicycle author David Herlihy will be in Davis on Friday, July 23rd to give a special presentation at the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame. Herlihy’s latest book, The Lost Cyclist: The Epic Tale of an American Adventurer and His Mysterious Disappearance, has just been published and he will give a slideshow presentation of never-before-seen-by-the-public images relating to the book. Following the presentation, Herlihy will autograph books and the Avid Reader bookstore will have his books available at the Hall of Fame for purchase.

The presentation and book signing will run from 5:30 to 7:00 pm inside the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, at 303 3rd Street in Central Park at the corner of 3rd and B Streets in downtown Davis.

The Lost Cyclist will be available for purchase following the presentation, as well as his well-known book, The Bicycle: A History. The author will be available to sign his books that are purchased that evening.
