Two fresh graduates bought bicycles in 1890 and rode them from Istanbul to Peking. Allen and Sachtleben crossed Turkey, Persia, the Gobi and the Chinese interior on solid tyres, arguing with officials, sleeping in caravanserais and being stared at by people who had never watched a wheel move by itself. Three years, most of a continent, and not one support vehicle behind them.
