After the Civil War, in an experiment by the U.S. Army to determine the effectiveness of moving troops by bicycle, the all-Black 25th Infantry Regiment Bicycle Corps, known as the Buffalo Soldiers, was commissioned to embark on an expedition nearly 2,000 miles from Missoula, Montana, to St. Louis, Missouri.

The 1897 journey was dubbed “The Great Experiment” in national newspapers that cared to pay attention to the 41-day adventure, which crossed through some of the harshest conditions and terrain in the American West, spanning Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Missouri.

To celebrate the 125th anniversary of this experiment and to start a movement to identify these brave men and bicycle travel pioneers, in 2022, Erick Cedeño, aka the Bicycle Nomad, retraced the route and history of the All-Black, bicycle-mounted 25th Infantry.

Ben Grannis is a 27-year-old Eagle Scout from Ridgefield, Connecticut. He is in the midst of a 6,000+ mile bike ride (called Eyes Up Ride) around the US to raise awareness for distracted driving and promote digital wellness in partnership with a nonprofit called TextLess Live More and have raised $39,000 to fight distracted driving.

In addition to ending distracted driving, Ben’s goal is to show people it's okay to do something scary and uncomfortable and that there is a tremendous amount of growth that can occur when we follow our hearts, embrace vulnerability, and live Eyes Up.

Most recently, Ben learned the challenges and stages of a knee injury that set him back over six months and just got back on the bike last month. "Look. Listen. Live." is the Eyes Up Ride mantra and Ben is committed to showing that anything is possible and it starts with looking up from your phone.
