Over the next 3 years he rode over 10,000 miles and contributed regularly to the cycling periodicals of the day. He then set about describing in great detail his touring experiences as well as all sorts of cycling minutiae, including reports from Australasian subscribers. Unable to find a publisher Kron pitched his book to his article readers and received over 3,500 $1 subscriptions. This not one of the subscriber’s issue.
