"Bicycle Day", the first recorded LSD "trip" by Albert Hofmann, April 19, 1943. This is celebrated on April 19 annually, generally through the use of LSD.
This t-shirt commemorates the birth of perharps the most controversial of all psychedelic compounds. The history of Bicycle Day begins in 1938, when Hofmann, who was working in the pharmaceutical department of Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, first synthesized LSD from ergot, a fungus that commonly grows on grains of rye. At the time, Hofmann had no idea that LSD had psychedelic effects. In fact, he was hoping that it would be a useful analeptic, a type of stimulant for treating respiratory and circulatory problems.
It’s Called Bicycle Day Because of World War II
On April 19, Hofmann went back to his lab to drop acid—on purpose, this time—but he had no idea how much to take. The recommended dose for a first between 100-200 micrograms, according to the Global Drug Survey. But there was no way for Hofmann to know that since he was LSD’s own guinea pig. So he guessed that 250 micrograms would be a suitable dose, which he swallowed at 4:20 PM (fittingly enough).
It didn’t take long for Hofmann to realize how strong a dose he had taken. After noticing that the “altered perceptions were of the same type as before, only much more intense” and that he “had to struggle to speak intelligibly,” Hofmann decided that tripping out in a chemical lab was a terrible idea, so he asked his assistant to help him get home.
They couldn’t drive to his house because of wartime restrictions that prohibited the use of cars on public roads, so they had to bike instead. And that’s where the name Bicycle Day comes from.
