Augusta Van Buren was born on 26 Mar 1884 and Adeline Van Buren was born on 26 Jul 1889 in NY, USA. On their own motorcycles, Adeline and Augusta sisters cycled 5,500 miles across the continental United States in 60 days, finishing on September 8, 1916. Following Effie Hotchkiss, who had completed a Brooklyn-to-San Francisco trip the year before with her mother, Avis, as a sidecar passenger, they became the second and third women to ride motorbikes across the continent.
