Otto Maya --- Historical Marker - Transcription and Photos
Contributed by Bill Klauk
This historical marker located at 1103 State Street in the City of Erie, commemorates Otto Maya, a champion bicycle rider in the 1890s and early 1900s. The historical marker reads:
OTTO MAYA (1876 - 1930) A champion racer during the bicycle craze that swept the United States in the 1890s. After racing locally for several years, he competed against bicyclists from other states and nations in major contests between 1896 and 1906; foremost among these were the six-day team races at the old Madison Square Garden in New York. Maya lived here as a boy above his family's business, which he later managed on his return to Erie in 1907. PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL AND MUSEUM COMMISSION 2001 |
