1896 Cycling Map

Someone posted this over in A&S for some reason, but I thought it made sense to post here.

From the Big Map Blog, an 1896 map of cycling roads in California.

Download a high rez version right here: https://www.bigmapblog.com/maps/map03...osYBPMrkqo.jpg

I'm going to print this on a plotter at work and make a poster.

If you have access to a big printer / plotter, I just printed the high resolution file on 24x36 and it looks FANTASTIC. It's going in the man cave.

You printed an extra and want to trade it for some aluminum 'shorty' fenders? Did I hear that correctly?
