This vintage Map of California Roads for Cyclers certainly brings back pleasant memories of bike rides I used to take around the Golden State.The 1896 map is reproduced at the Big Map Blog in minute detail so viewers can zoom in on detailed routes. [See the San Francisco Bay Area below.]
We used to live in the Central Valley, and I see all the way stations from my bike rides during that period -- Modesto, Copperopolis, Chinese Camp, Big Oak Flat, and Angels Camp, among them.
It's interesting to see that all those towns were bicycling destinations long before I ever showed up on two wheels ...
