There's more about this bike trip in FRED'S BICYCLE ACCIDENT, because, decades later, Fred told his daughter about the trip, which was more eventful than the article tells. It thrills me to have this article.

TRIP ON HIS WHEEL
Fred Stokey Returns From A Trip of About One Thousand Miles.
Fred Stokey, of West Ninth street, has returned from a trip to West Point, where he went to see his brother, Cadet William P. Stokey. Fred made the trip to West Point on his wheel, and his visit was a surprise to his brother, as the latter was not expecting to see him. Fred returned by rail to Cleveland, but rode from that city to Canton Sunday on his wheel, making the trip in about seven hours. In all, he rode about 1,000 miles on his wheel, having been gone about three weeks.
