"WHEN Society takes up a fad it does it thoroughly, whether it be for wheel or whoa. Just now it is wheels, and the horses are standing forgotten in their stalls, while the world tools itself over the broad red roads.

Hello! I’m a historian who has written about bicycling history, the Tour de France, popular culture history, sports history, modern Europe. Now: booze history, bourbon, how alcohol, race, cultural, world history intersect. My pro life = teaching college students, which I love. I enjoy satire.
