Vintage bicycle enthusiast and property manager Eric Knight shipped his high-wheeler — a replica of one with a 54-inch front wheel originally made by the Victor company — from his home in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, to Japan for the trip. Knight and friend Mark Kennedy were inspired by pioneering cyclist Thomas Stevens (1854-1935), who traveled the same route through Japan in 1886 on a high-wheeler. Stevens’ stint here was the final leg of a journey circumnavigating the world that originally began in San Francisco, making him the first person to accomplish this feat on a bicycle.
