She was an enigma. A married Jewish mother of three, Londonderry claimed to have only ridden a bicycle three times previously, yet boldly promised the public she would circumvent the world on a bicycle in fifteen months. When Londonderry arrived in New York City on July 3, 1894, she told the New York Herald she would only remain in their fair city for three days because of her pressing time schedule; instead, she lingered for three weeks, perhaps attracted to all the city had to offer.
