In 1894 Annie “Londonderry” Kopchovsky traveled “around the world” on a Sterling. Starting from Boston and heading west, her first bike was a Columbia but it proved unsuitable. In Chicago, the Sterling company gave her a men’s Sterling (weighing 21 pounds, it had no brakes) which made riding in skirts impossible. She then wore bloomers and finally rode in a men’s riding suit. Peter Zheutlin’s book “Around the World on Two Wheels” records her journey. She claimed to be the first woman to “cycle around the world”, duplicating a feat that Thomas Stevens had accomplished 10 years earlier. In 1898 Sterling won a Silver Medal at the Trans-Mississippi International Exposition held in Omaha, Nebraska for its “chainless bicycles and safeties”.��������������������������������� Est. $100-200 North Carolina 1515 1515 Durham Athletic Association, Inc., 1916 Stock Certificate North Carolina, 1916. 1 Share I/U Capital Stock Certificate #180, Black text with black border and green background, Eagle with U.S. Capitol Building in background at top center.
