Wyman rode a 1902 '
California' motor bicycle across America in 1903. Today, the sport of motor bicycling is alive thanks to small groups of enthusiasts. One such group is the
Motor-Assisted Bicycle Forum. Despite the technological advances of two wheeled vehicles over the years, these enthusiasts focus on modifying the basic bicycle with small displacement motors. Motorized bicycling is a two-wheeled sport with roots going back the birth of the motorcycle at the turn of the last century.
