Artifact Overview
Albert Schock poses astride his bicycle in this early-1890s photograph. Schock competed in six-day races in the 1880s and 1890s. He set an American record atop a high-wheel machine in 1886, but switched to safety bicycles when they proved to be faster. Six-day races lasted up to eighteen hours a day for one week, with no racing on Sunday.
