Happy #BicycleDay to all who celebrate. I used to embark on a trip every year in its honor, but kids and age caught up with me and made that impossible. I did write a track about it a few years ago. Have a listen, and if you're riding that #psychedelic bike today, I hope it helps propel your journey.

"She Had an Affair with Her Bicycle Instructor Because Her Husband Snored"

The divorce of Samuel Freligh (b.1852 NY) and his wife Mary Miller was salacious enough to warrant several newspaper articles in 1900 NY City.

It seems that Mary was accused of having an affair with a "Bicycle Instructor," and was tired of her husband's loud snoring. When the Judge gave his ruling on the case, daughter Ida (who had sided with her mother during the proceedings) began to yell in protest and had to be removed from the courtroom.

Daughter Ida later became a #Burlesque actress in the theatre.

Samuel Freligh (b. 5 Sept 1852 NY, d. 29 Nov. 1929 NY)
Mary Miller/Muller (b. abt.1858 NY, d. 28 June 1934 NYC)
m. 28 Sept 1873 King's County, NY

Children:
Ida (1885-1972, m. Leroy Smith)
Charles Penamen (1879-1935, m. Mildred Barrett)

Happy Bicycle Day! 80 years ago, to the day, the first intentional #LSD trip kicked off the #psychedelic era in modem Western society. I don't get to celebrate like I used to, but I *DO* have this song I wrote about the occasion, in case you want to enjoy it while celebrating...

"Any Day Can Be Bicycle Day (If Your Mind is in the Right Gear)"

Happy #BicycleDay

From Wikipedia : “On April 19, 1943, Hofmann ingested 0.25 milligrams (250 micrograms) of the substance.
Less than one hour later, Hofmann experienced sudden and intense changes in perception. He asked his laboratory assistant to escort him home. As was customary in Basel, they made the journey by bicycle.”…”The events of the first LSD trip, now known as "Bicycle Day", after the bicycle ride home, proved to Hofmann that he had indeed made
a significant discovery: a psychoactive substance with extraordinary potency, capable of causing significant shifts of consciousness in incredibly low doses.”…”Bicycle Day is increasingly observed in psychedelic communities as a day to celebrate the discovery of LSD”

2 years ago to the day this little bop fell out of my skull almost completely intact. About an hour later I had a rough demo of one of my favorite songs I've ever recorded.

Dedicated to Dr. Hofmann and his problem child, this one is called Bicycle Day!
