Retracing the 1897 Expedition of the Bicycle Corps - Buffalo Soldiers.

Erick Cedeño, aka the Bicycle Nomad, retraced the route and history of the All-Black, bicycle-mounted 25th Infantry in 2022.

After the Civil War, in an experiment by the U.S. Army to determine the effectiveness of moving troops by bicycle, the all-Black 25th Infantry Regiment Bicycle Corps was commissioned to embark on an expedition nearly 2,000 miles from Missoula, Montana, to St. Louis, Missouri. 

Erick spoke at the UC Bicycling Hall of Fame on Thursday, May 18th, 2023.
