Inspired by the experiences of fellow female cyclist Lillian Russell, Kopchovsky adopted the pseudonym Annie Londonderry and set out from Boston on June 25, 1894. Armed with only a bicycle, a few changes of clothing, and a small bag of supplies, she embarked on a journey that would span over 15 months and traverse four continents.

Londonderry's journey was not without its challenges. As a woman traveling alone in the late 19th century, she encountered prejudice, skepticism, and even hostility. She faced rough terrain, treacherous weather, and the skepticism of those who believed a woman's place was in the home, not on the bicycle.

Undeterred, Londonderry persevered through adversity, driven by a combination of grit, determination, and a belief in her own abilities. She supported herself along the way by selling advertising space on her bicycle, giving lectures, and writing articles for newspapers. Her journey became a testament to the indomitable spirit of women and a challenge to the prevailing notions of gender roles.

Londonderry's extraordinary ride sparked a global sensation. Her adventures were chronicled in newspapers around the world, and her story inspired countless others to push boundaries and pursue their dreams. Upon her triumphant return to Boston in 1895, she was greeted as a hero, and her journey remains an iconic moment in cycling history.

Today, Annie Londonderry's legacy continues to inspire and empower women and cyclists alike. Her journey serves as a reminder that anything is possible with determination, perseverance, and the courage to break free from societal expectations.
