Otto Tum Suden

Otto tum Suden July 1855 – Deceased
Otto tum Suden, a lawyer, was married to Caroline Christine Louise Medau, daughter of John P. Medau. John P. Medau was father of John H. Medau, whose J. H. Medau dairy was offered to the city of Oakland as park land, but which is now the neighborhood of Montclair. See this bit about J. P. Medau's will.
=== Clubs ===
----
The complaint of Otto tum Suden, filed with the Supervisors, is merely a boiling over of the general feeling of dissatisfaction prevailing among the thousands of wheelmen in this city against certain restrictions imposed by the Golden Gate Park Commissioners. They can't see why they should be discriminated against in the use of the Park roads, and the doling out of little favors by the Park Commissioners no longer satisfies them that their inherent rights are not unduly invaded.
RIGHTS OF THE HORSE AND THE BICYCLE ON PARK ROADS. - The San Francisco Examiner, 10 Sep 1894
Now comes Otto Tum Suden with the proposition that the Park Commissioners cannot make and enforce ordinances, and that the Supervisors should do so, and the cyclists are inclined to fly to arms in assertion of what they deem their rights. The question of the authority of the Park Commissioners to make ordinances at their will and impose penalties for their violation has never been tested in the higher courts. The Legislature, in creating the commission, expressly conferred on the Board of Park Commissioners the authority to make all needful regulations, and declared that any violation of those regulations should be a misdemeanor. Under that law the commission has passed many ordinances, and with the aid of the Park police and the Police Courts has always successfully enforced them. Hundreds of people have forfeited bail or paid small fines without disputing the legality of the ordinances imposing the penalties.

Our Sett

Leon B. Thomas has resigned from the Olympic Club Wheelmen, and as he was a delegate to the Associated Clubs Stanley G. Scovern has been appointed to the place. Thomas will shortly open up a bicycle-renting establishment on Sixteenth street and Telegraph avenue, Oakland. Thomas was president of the famous “Our Set," which cut such a dash in cycling circles here last winter. Of the other three members Wilbur Knapp is selling bicycles, J. Fagothey has opened a cyclery near the park, and now Thomas is trying his luck at it. Now, to complete the thing, if the other member would go into the trade - "Billy" Stinson - but it is unlikely.
THE WHEELMEN. - J. E. Edwards Wants the World's Five-Mile Road Record. - The San Francisco Call, 18 May 1895
A private road race, the result of which will be watched with a good deal of interest by the wheelmen around the bay, will be run next Saturday afternoon. The distance is from Oakland to San Jose, and the competing teams are members of the B. L. O. Club and "Our Sett," two offshoots of the Olympic Club Wheelmen. Each club has four members, and there has been considerable friendly rivalry between them of late as to who were the fastest riders. A dispute on this point led to a challenge from the club with the mysterious initials, which "Our Sett" forthwith accepted. The members of the latter club are: Wilbur F. Knapp, W. H. Stinson, J. E. Fagothey and L. B. Thomas. The B. L. O. Club is composed of Fred R. Butz, James W. Coffroth, Thomas S. Mulvey and Joseph F. Coffey. Each man will pay an entrance fee, with which a suitable prize for the winning team will be purchased. As the entire eight have reputations as speedy road runners it is safe to say the pace will be a hot one from start to finish, and possibly the record from Oakland to San Jose of 2 hours and 13 minutes, made by O. L. Pickard, June 10, 1894, will be lowered.
THE WHEELMEN. - The San Francisco Call, 31 Aug 1895
The benefit for the California Associated Cycling Clubs will be held at the Columbia Theater next Thursday evening. The money derived from this source will be expended on prizes for the annual ten-mile road race to be held October 13, and therefore the theater party should be supported by all the cycling clubs. The Bay City Wheelmen, California, Imperial and Olympic Cyclers can be depended upon to take the largest blocks of seats, but the other clubs will all be represented, and will make up in enthusiasm what they lack in numbers. Not to attend this affair will be for a club to acknowledge that it is "not in it", but they'll all be there, so there's no fear of that. "Our Sett," the "Blow Club" and the "Thirteen Club" (minus Jimmy Joyce, who is East) will occupy box seats, as will the press and other cycling dignitaries.

Overman Wheel Company

Overman Wheel Company was an early bicycle manufacturing company in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts from 1882 to 1900. It was known for bicycles of higher quality and lower weight than other bicycles of its time. Despite a nationwide bicycle craze in the late 1800s, the company was undercut by lower-priced competition, nearly went bankrupt in 1897, and never recovered from an 1899 fire. The company was sold in 1900. 
The flagship product of the Overman Company was the Victor Bicycle. The Victor Bicycle made extensive use of interchangeable parts, an innovation which allowed the owner to make minor repairs, without bringing the bicycle to a professional mechanic.[1] The metal parts of the Victor bicycle were all steel; it was the first bicycle to use no cast metal parts.[1] It was also one of the first bicycles to use a hollow pneumatic tire.[3]

* J. E. Alexander

* A. C. Pillsbury
The Palo Alto wheelmen are resting their hopes on J. E. Alexander, who recently made one mile in 2:45 2-5 riding a pneumatic-tired wheel.
Bicycling in California in 1892 - The Overland Monthly, June 1892
George Osen, San Jose's big boy, won the third heat with ease, in 2:37 1-5, F. Kenna of the Alameda County Wheelmen being a far-away second. The fourth heat was a walkover for W. J. Edwards of the Palo Alto Wheelmen, none of the other men entered caring to compete with the diminutive Hercules. However, he went over the course and. with E. Maillot as a pacemaker, attempted to beat the half-mile record. In this he did not succeed, his time being 1:17 1-5. Then he slowed down and finished the mile in 2:52 1-5.
...
Last of all, but by no means least interesting, was the five-mile safety scratch race. The starters were: Osen. Edwards, Bell and Schleuter, the latter making the pace, and a snail-like pace at that, for about four miles. The others were riding in a bunch at their ease. On the fifth mile they all limbered up a bit, and when the last half-mile was begun Bell made one of his phenomenal spurts, quickly moving up from last place to the front. But he made his final effort a little too soon. Big George Osen didn't want to follow anybody's procession, so he just shook a few flies off his broad shoulders and began to pedal as though he had a license to do nothing else. Then Edwards of Palo Alto breathed a prayer to his alma mater and moved up as though he wished to whisper a word in Osen's ear. Both passed Bell, and Osen may consider himself lucky that he got to the finish before Edwards was quite close enough to reveal his secret, otherwise he might have reflected less glory on the Garden City cyclers. The time was 16:32 2-5, not fast, but, as Captain Ravlin said, it was enough glory for San Jose to win the two chief events of the day without minding a few seconds more or less. Nevertheless, Walter Foster is happy, for he still holds the time championship for the Pacific Coast.

The well-known Pathfinder Club of this city had its first run since the late stormy weather on Thursday last to the Six-mile House, under the leadership of President Flanagan, Captain McCord being unavoidably absent. Fifteen members participated. Good progress was made, considering the roughness of the road. Upon reaching their destination an excellent collation was partaken of, which was thoroughly enjoyed. On the return trip several short spurts were indulged in, in which the genial treasurer, Mr. Levy, acquitted himself with distinction. On Thursday the Pathfinders will have a run to Haywards, weather permitting.

=== SAN JOSE'S PIONEERS OF THE BICYCLE ===
==== Seventh 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 Bicycle. ====
VII.
PAUL STOCKTON, capitalist, orchardist and well-known man about town, is a living advertisement of the healthfulness of farm life and cycling in the beautiful Santa Clara Valley, for he does not look a bit older today than he does in this photograph taken more than 20 years ago.
However, this may be due to his habits of life, which are characterized today, as they were when he first became a devotee to the silent steed, by a lack of extreme strenuousness; nevertheless he always got there.
Paul purchased a wheel in the stone age and learned to ride without even disarranging his tie or marring the classic shape of his nose, and became a member of the Garden City Wheelmen when that organization was perfected. Although he was an ardent follower of the sport, he did not participate in any speed contests.
His cycling attire was probably the most faultless of any of the hundreds of riders at that time. He was the exact antithesis of "Dusty" Lamkin, of whom something has already been said, in that he was able to return from a club run without a speck of dust on his well-fitting clothing or on his shining wheel. His club emblems and his natty little cycling cap were always greatly admired.
Today Mr. Stockton leads the simple life. He runs his prune orchards with great success, and when his duties on his ranch on the Almaden road do not keep him at home he may be seen at Bercovich's or some other well-known local cigarstore.
