Description: On April 19, 1943 medical research chemist Albert Hofmann, intrigued by the effects after an accidental exposure, tested an ergotamine he had derived while seeking a treatment of migraine/respiratory problems. Confused by the effects of the first LSD trip, he rode his bicycle home to rest in bed till he felt better. He never felt better but he did come down and spent the rest of his life exploring and promoting the use of the psychoactive compound as it benefits mankind. Bicycle Day celebrates this event and Hofmann’s discovery.
