The Bicycle Ride that Changed the World
Bicycle Day is an international holiday that commemorates the date that Dr. Albert Hofmann first tripped on LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide-25) and bicycled home from his lab in Basel, Switzerland on April 19, 1943. Dr. Hofmann had synthesized several derivatives of ergot, a fungus found on rye, in the process of searching for new pharmaceuticals for Sandoz Laboratories. Dr. Hoffman first synthesized LSD-25 in 1938 but did not become aware of its psychedelic properties until April 16th, 1943 when he absorbed a small amount of the compound accidentally either through his fingertips or by ingesting it. Curious about the psychoactive effects, three days later he performed a self-experiment to determine the true effects of LSD, intentionally ingesting 250 micrograms, an amount he predicted to be a threshold dose (an actual threshold dose is 20 micrograms) on April 19th, 1943. He started to feel the effects and asked his laboratory assistant to escort him home. During the bicycle ride home, he experienced the psychedelic effects of LSD, making this the date of the first acid trip in history, propelling the West into the Psychedelic Age. 🎉💜

The accidental discovery of LSD by the chemist marked a groundbreaking moment in the history of psychedelics. Hofmann's bicycle ride home after his first intentional trip is now celebrated annually symbolizing the transformative potential of psychedelic substances for scientific research and personal growth.

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when people hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” Arthur Conan Doyle 🚲 No bike rides, no LSD, I guess I’ll have to settle for the exercise bike, some books and painting 🤷🏻♀️ 🌷 #bicycleday #bicycleday2020 #bicycleday🚲 #bicycle #bike #alberthofmann #art #artwork #illustration #digitalart #procreate #procreateart #darkart #lowbrowart #popsurrealism #lowbrowpopsurrealists #lsdtrip #aledelatorre #aristsoninstagram #bicyclelove #diadelabicicleta #bikeride #reading #arthurconandoyle #surrealart #happiness #freedom https://www.instagram.com/p/B_K-CyPjGJ9/?igshid=1kyulnw8jbi38

“How about a positive LSD story? Wouldn’t that be news-worthy, just the once? To base your decision on information rather than scare tactics and superstition and lies? I think it would be news-worthy. ‘Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we’re the imagination of ourselves’ . . . ‘Here’s Tom with the weather.’” // I am a firm believer that everyone have at least one psychedelic experience during their Earthly existence. Whether it be countless or just the one - May you have a memorable, enlightening, and healthy trip.

El Día Mundial de la Bicicleta se celebra el 19 de abril en honor al genio suizo de la bioquímica que sintetizó el LSD en los laboratorios Sandoz. Esa fecha de 1943, a los treinta y siete años de edad, Hofmann se convirtió en el primer hombre que viajó en ácido lisérgico mientras pedaleaba su bicicleta a través de la ciudad de Basilea en Suiza.
Un texto incluido en mi nuevo libro publicado este 19 abril por la revista Erizo.
