...Captain Donnelly, San Mateo Wheelmen...
Thomas Stevens finishes his around-the-world bicycle journey in San Francisco, January 8, 1887.
S. H. Knapp Jr. and D. W. Donnelly are two of the members [of the Bay City Wheelmen] residing in San Mateo. They are invaluable men on the occasion of picnic runs, and have a pleasant habit of hiding a three-gallon can of fresh milk near the roadside whenever the club has a run beyond San Mateo. On a warm day it is easy to understand how acceptable their habit is and the stampede of riders for the can is worth seeing. They usually form a line and are allowed one cup at a time. When the first has had a drink he goes to the foot of the line and awaits his turn again, as do all the others until the can is empty.
BAY CITY WHEELMEN, Well-Known Athletes Who Travel Around on Wheels. - The San Francisco Examiner, Oct 14, 1888
Steve Knapp, as lecturer, was a huge success. After absorbing a great deal of information regarding dams, the boys started for the beach, and were soon swimming in the pleasantly warm waters of the Bay. On the road leading from the beach is the home of D. W. Donnelly, a member of the [Bay City Wheelmen] club. The riders were invited in and regaled with fruit and watermelons, freshly picked.

DENVER CYCLERS AT A SMOKER. - The San Francisco Call - June 03, 1898

=== DENVER CYCLERS AT A SMOKER. ===
==== BAY CITY WHEELMEN ENTERTAIN VISITING SOLDIERS. ====
===== An Enjoyable and Pleasant Evening Spent in the Local Club-Rooms. =====
"Well, great Scott!
Rah, rah, rah!
Zip, boom, ah!
Bay City Wheelmen, ha, ha, ha!" 
"Wheels, wheels, X Y Z! 
Tiger, tiger!
D W C!"
When a few hundred lusty-lunged wheelmen shout these cries there is a likelihood that people in the immediate neighborhood will hear them, and that the cries were heard was evidenced by the large crowd that gathered in the vicinity of the Bay City Wheelmen's Club rooms on Golden Gate avenue last evening.
The heroes of century runs and many spills held a smoker last night and invited thereto about twenty-five of the visiting volunteers who are members of the Denver Cycling Club. The visitors have enjoyed the hospitality of the Red Cross and received a cordial greeting along the line of march, but both pale into insignificance to the rousing reception the knights of the silent steed received at the hands of the Bay City boys. Red and blue lights were burned outside in honor of the guests and the jinks-room was splendidly decorated with flags and bunting. Suspended from the wall were knapsacks and other military trappings, giving the room a martial appearance.
Everything was done to give the Coloradoans an enjoyable evening. Refreshments, cigars, cigarettes and pipes were passed around, and as they smoked and drank they listened to sweet singing, cleverly told yarns and instrumental music which made them for the time forget the dangers ahead of them and maybe the loved ones at home.
Judge Dunne, an old and honored member of the club, in the absence of Judge Frank H. Kerrigan, made a speech of welcome in which he voiced the sentiments of the club. His remarks were greeted with enthusiasm and the following programme was rendered: Piano solo, R. A. Cunha; violin solo, Gus Fleisner; stories by the only "Bob" Mitchell; ditto, J. Cathcart; song, Gus Unzer; Italian impersonations, John Holland; everything, Eddy Sweeney; "Casey at the Bat," Thomas L. Hill; black art; zither solo, Mr. Regensberger; recitation, Otto Heynemann.
Among the guests last night was Lieutenant Hawley, who held the championship of Idaho during the past season. Other noted wheelmen were there and they were made to feel at home by the jolly winners of this year's relays.

Brother of Eugene Van Court
=== Clubs ===
Acme Wheelmen
The early history of the club is as interesting as its later development into the fore most athletic organization in Alameda county. Way back in the fall of 1881 a handful of young men living in the vicinity of Sixth and Alice streets with nothing to occupy their time after school rigged up a swinging trapeze in an oak tree in De Witt Van Court's back yard, and this broomhandle trapeze, together with an ancient pair of boxing gloves, were the only apparatus the club owned.
The members of the club at that time were: DeWitt C. Van Court, Eugene Van Court, O. C. Musser, George Faulkner and J. M. Polk, all being neighbors and living within a few blocks of the Van Court residence. The early meetings of the club were held in the Van Court back yard whenever the rain permitted. In course of time the boys obtained permission from Mrs. Dr. Lafevre [Lefevre] to use the loft of a barn close by. The roof of this barn was so low that but one member could exercise at a time, and while he was busy swinging clubs or two others were boxing the rest of the club sat down and did their best to keep out of the way. From this early stage the club progressed by steady growth until it was able to rent an old China washhouse at the corner of Eighth and Webster streets. Here the membership was increased by the admission of Tim Scanlon, Ed Merwin, Rufus Hepburn, Ross Hardy and John F. Conners. Those, with the original members, afterwards became charter members when the Acme Athletic Club was formed.
...
The Acme Bicycle Club has done its part to keep up the record of the club. The club has over one hundred members, and has the following officers: De Witt C. Vancourt, Captain; George F. Neece, First Lieutenant; Theodore Schleuter, Second Lieutenant; O. L. Pickard, Bugler.

"Dick"
----
Everett Moody, better known as "Dick," is one of the best class A riders the Garden City Cyclers have. He has been riding about a year, and is looked upon as a coming man. He rode second to Edwards at the league meet on July 4 from a handicap of fifteen yards, which necessitated him passing a large field. He has never yet developed his best speed, it is thought, and when thoroughly trained will rank with the top notchers. His likeness accompanies this article.

E.A. MOODY, better known as “Dick” Moody...
SAN JOSE'S PIONEERS OF THE BICYCLE
Ninth in Series of Sketches, Accompanied by Photographs Found in Garrets and Homes of San Joseans Who Were Devoted Followers of Sport in Early Days of the “Silent Steed."
IX. 
"DICK" MOODY, who owns a controlling interest in the handsome new plant erected at the corner of Ninth and Santa Clara streets and which is known as the Parisian Dye Works, was one of the most popular cycle riders on California tracks as well as one of the most successful in the heyday of cycling.
Although "Dick" came into this world too late to pedal one of the big "ordinaries" with Al Col, the late Julius Smith, Oscar and George Osen and their comrades and rivals, he adopted the "safety" when it first appeared as his favorite method of locomotion.
His first bicycle weighed 61 pounds, yet by dint of considerable conscientious training he managed to finally acquire speed enough to shove this contraption close to the three-minute mark and win his novice race about 20 years ago.
This was the first victory for "Dick" in a successful racing career. He followed the California circuit for several seasons and won a total of 48 prizes.
Finally his business demanded his entire attention to the utter exclusion of the manly sport and the San Jose wheelmen's club.
Mr. Moody is an architect of considerable ability and designed his own home in the Naglee Park tract as well as the new two-story building at the corner of Ninth and Santa Clara streets, where the Parisian Dye Works is housed.

The third annual relay race between the wheelmen of Carson and Reno, Nev., will be held on August 13. Each team has won a race and each is making special efforts to capture the event this year.
Joseph A. Ostendorf, a well-known dealer of Los Angeles, has been in the city this week on a business trip.
Charles Dietle, at one time a director of the Bay City Wheelmen, died recently. He was prominent in cycling affairs during the boom times.
S. B. Vincent is touring through Marin and adjoining counties on a vacation trip.
Ed O. Kragness and Lester Hammersmith of the Olympic Wheelmen are on their wheels en route for Southern California points.

----
It was only a few minutes before o'clock when the ten men who were to ride the first relay lined up on Market street, near Tenth, and awaited the word to go. The immense crowd pushed and jostled with each other to get a glimpse o the riders, while others who preferred to see them pass lined both sides of Ninth street for blocks. At exactly 9 o'clock to the second Starter McGlynn gave the word and the riders were off over the cobbles, each striving to reach Ninth street first, that he might have the advantage of leading down the cable slot as far as Potrero avenue. Kroetz of the Olympics secured the coveted position, and led the others a merry chase down Ninth street. The order was: Kroetz, Olympic; Bozio, Imperial; Robinson, San Francisco; Hardenbrook, Garden City; Languetin, Bay City; Schleuter, Acme; O'Brien, San Jose; Pratt, Alameda; Hanson, California, and Boyden, Reliance.

EASTERN CRACKS COMING. - San Francisco Chronicle - October 30, 1895

=== EASTERN CRACKS COMING. ===
==== THEY WILL REACH HERE THIS MORNING. ====
===== The Bicycle Track Association Discusses the Quarter-Mile Proposition. =====
The San Francisco Bicycle Track Association held a meeting last night at the clubhouse of the Bay City Wheelmen, with the following delegates present: President Kerrigan, Elliott, Watters, B. C. W.; Stratton and Mullin, O. C. W.; Douglass, I. C. C.; Wynne and Burke, C. C. C.; Simms, S. F. Y. M. C. A.
A number of track propositions were discussed and laid over until the next meeting, which will be called upon the completion of certain plans of a quarter- mile track to be built in this city within the near future.
It was decided to extend an invitation to all the club members of the California Associated Cycling Clubs to send delegates to the association to confer upon track matters.
A meeting of the alliance of clubs which are to handle the national circuit meet on November 16th was held yesterday and all arrangements practically completed toward starting matters on foot. The only thing now in the way is securing the track, but negotiations are about closed for the Oakland Driving Park. The clubs that are to manage this event are the Bay City Wheelmen, Olympic Cyclers and Acme Club Wheelmen. The noted Eastern cracks will arrive this morning on the 9:45 o'clock overland, coming through direct from Ogden, at which place they raced Monday. The party consists of Bald, McDonald, Murphy, Cooper, Wells, Terrill, Rigby, Kiser, Windle, Spooner and Young. They will be met at Port Costa by Messrs. Kerrigan, Plummer, Vincent, Sheldon, Knippenberg, Rhys, Smith, Spaulding and Ravlin. Saturday night the Bay City Wheelmen will give a club smoker and reception to the visitors, and Sunday they will be escorted through the Park by Captain Plummer and the Bay City Wheelmen.
The prospects now are that Cabanne and Titus will not be able to appear at the San Jose meet, and possibly not at all on the California Circuit. Owing to their suspension over the recent St. Louis troubles they have been compelled to remain in the East, and until that is settled they will have to abandon their Western trip. This will be a misfortune to California, as Titus was to have ridden for the hour record at San Jose.
Captain Thornton of the Olympic Club Wheelmen and Captain Carey of the Garden City Cyclers will shortly arrange a joint run of the two clubs to Woodside, a few miles back of Redwood City. A barbecue will be the main attraction at the destination.
George Nissen of the Acme Club Wheelmen has decided to abandon the ten-mile attempt for next Sunday, and will exert his energies toward securing the much coveted five-mile world's record of 11:13. The trial will be made Sunday afternoon over the San Mateo-San Carlos course. Nissen having accepted the "Chronicles's" suggestion and investigated the superior condition of this course. Ives and Hurley of the Alameda Cyclers will do the pacing.
