Books by Kevin J. Hayes

The action-packed life of the polymath and 'First American', Benjamin Franklin.

In 1887 a twenty-one-year-old newspaperman named George Nellis (1865-1948) rode a bicycle from Herkimer, New York, to San Francisco in seventy-two days, surpassing the transcontinental bicycle record by several weeks. This book deals with his works.

More than a century ago, George B. Thayer took his own first "century", or one-hundred-mile bicycle ride. The Two-Wheeled World of George B. Thayer brings to life the experience of late nineteenth-century cycling through the heartfelt story of this important cycling pioneer.
