Louis de Franklin Munger 7 Apr 1864 - 29 Jul 1929

"Birdie" 
=== Clubs ===
----
I first knew Chairman Howard E. Raymond of the National Racing Board when he was one of the strong road riders of the Brooklyn Bicycle Club. I believe at that time he was Captain. The first official position I remember his occupying was that of timer at the Buffalo tournament of 1890, when Van Waggoner won the 100-mile road race. He made an excellent timer, though I believe he got caught that day on the fake telegram gotten up by "Birdie" Munger, announcing Austin Crooks as running away from the great Van Waggoner and being hours ahead of the world's record, though thirty miles from the finish.

Louis de Franklin "Birdie" Munger is most famous today for his association with Major Taylor. However Birdie was also notable on his own.

Quoting form the above URL
"Louis (Birdie) de Franklin Munger (b.1863 – d. 1929) was born in Detroit, Michigan sometime during 1863 to Theodore and Mary Jane Pattee Munger, two native Canadians who had emigrated to the United States in 1859. The Mungers established a small farm in Black Hawk County, Iowa, but relocated to Windsor, Ontario, Canada shortly after Louis's birth.
The elder Munger eventually found work in the Detroit, Michigan patent office and in that capacity exposed young Louis to the world of invention. The 1880 US Census reveals that 16-year-old Munger was “working in a blind factory” but within two years his name began to appear as a contestant in regional high-wheel bicycle races. "
His name appears as a competitor at the July 1 CWA 1885 Meet at Woodstock Ontario. (The Meet at which A.T. Lane won the one mile tricycle race medal). A few days later 10 July 1885 he and five other top racers from the US took part in the 100 mile race from Coburg to Kingston known as the "Big Four Century Road Race". It was so called because it was part of a tour of Wheelmen from Chicago, Buffalo, Boston and New York. He finished second in this race despite a "fearful shake-up for Munger, who ran into a horse, or rather the horse backed into him. Forced thus to make a back dismount, and landing astride the backbone of his wheel, he was 'knocked out ' for the space of ten minutes".
Despite this shake up. Birdie also rode a High Wheel Bicycle across the US in 1886, founded bicycle manufacturing companies and eventually becoming wealthy as result of his tire patent.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL WINS RELAY RACE - San Jose Mercury-news, 3 May 1903

__NOTOC__
=== LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL WINS RELAY RACE ===
==== TEAM HAD LITTLE TROUBLE IN OUTPOINTING OPPONENTS. ====
===== Beautiful Trophy Will Now Remain Permanently in Possession of Local Riders. =====
For the third consecutive year the San Jose High School bicycle relay team has won the 25-mile bicycle race under the auspices of the Academic League. The race was ridden yesterday afternoon on the Emeryville race track at Oakland. There was only one other contesting team and hat was the Polytechnic High School team of Oakland. The Oakland riders were not in the race at all. From the first the San Jose riders forged ahead and they continued to increase the gap until they crossed the tape three and one-half miles in the lead.
The riders who represented the San Jose High School were Gus Belloli, Hardon, Vincent, Dieffenbacher and Waibel. Belloli jumped his man at the start and gained a half mile before he had ridden his five miles. Hardon increased the lead to over a mile. Vincent followed in like manner. Dieffenbacher fairly flew around the track, making the fastest ride of the day. He covered the five miles in 14 09 1-5. Waibel, the last man, held his own without an effort and finished fully three miles and a half ahead of his opponent.
As his is the third consecutive year in which the local High School has won the race, the handsome trophy now comes permanently into their possession.
The judges of the course were W. J. McEnerney of the California Associated Cyclers, F. O. Reed of San Jose High School and Thomas Reeves of the Alameda High School. The referee and time-keeper was O. A. Hauser.

LONG RIDE ON BIKES. - Women and Children Who Rode All the Way on Their Wheels to Santa Barbara. - The San Francisco Call, 03 Jul 1895

=== LONG RIDE ON BIKES. ===
==== Women and Children Who Rode All the Way on Their Wheels to Santa Barbara. ====
The longest cycle ride ever accomplished by women in this State was that in a run from this City to Santa Barbara. The distance traveled was 387 1/2 miles. Two weeks ago last Sunday a party consisting of Edwin Mohrig and wife, Arthur Mohrig, aged 10 years, Eddie Mohrig, aged 12 years, Mrs. R. Holmes and George A. Morrill left this City for the long ride. The ladies wore the rational cycling costume and the men wore the most comfortable of cycling dress. The trip was made by easy stages, the party resting every night at some city or town along the route. The places where they rested were: San Jose, Salinas, King City, Jolon, Paso Robles, Santa Margarita, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, Cold Springs and Santa Barbara. 
"We were not racing against time," said Mr. Morrill in speaking of the trip, "so we took our time. One thing I want to say is that no one who goes on a long trip should go without a cyclometer. It enables him to determine whether he can make the distances between towns in the time left before darkness sets in. In going from one place to another the cycle tells what distance one can make, and knowing the distance from one stopping-place to another, one can tell if that distance can be covered within a given time.
"The roads were in many places pretty steep, and on account of the ladies we were forced to dismount and walk. Then the dust and the heat both worked to make the trip at times tiresome. The ladies and the boys stood it well and were not particularly fatigued when we reached Santa Barbara. This ride has demonstrated to me the value of the rational bloomer costume for ladies who ride the wheel. If those who were with us had not had such costumes they could not have reached the journey's end. We traveled light all the way, taking no lunch along, but depending upon reaching places where we could find food and shelter.
"There is one thing about our long journey of which I feel proud, and that is that we did not puncture a tire nor have a breakdown, We returned to the City by rail."

THE WHEELMEN. - The Rise and Fall of the Ariel Bicycle Club. - Oakland Tribune, 18 Apr 1888
A peculiarity of this Club [Oakland Wheelmen] is that it has no constitution or by-laws to wrangle error. Moreover, it has no "dues," as there are no expenses. Whenever there is a "run" or picnic the members "chip in" whatever they like and pay the bill. The plan works most successfully. The Club uniform is dark blue, with navy cap. The Oakland Wheelmen are officered as follows: President, Charles G. Yale; Captain, W. J. Bowman; First Lieutenant, L. A. Kelly, Jr.; Second Lieutenant, J. W. Stanford; Treasurer and Secretary, R. H. Magill, Jr. The remaining members are: Geo. H. Strong, Wm. H. Lowden, B. Callingham, C. L. Goddard, C. L. Leonard, J. H. McConnell, W. C. Glbbs, Chas.

Limerick

A San Ramon post office with Samuel Russell as postmaster was in place from 1852 to 1859; it was reestablished on December 4, 1873. In 1882, historian J.P. Munro-Fraser wrote that the name “San Ramon” was the one "given to the Post-office at what is usually known as the village of Limerick." Howard Fereira recalled old-timers calling the land south of San Ramon Creek “Limerick” and the area north of the creek “San Ramon.”
