A[ril 16

Dr. Albert Hoffman, a Swiss chemist, stumbled upon the psychedelic effects of LSD on the 16th in 1943 while conducting an experiment. Following this, he calmly rode his bicycle home from work in Basel, Switzerland. Beginning with the surge in the popularity of psychedelics in the 1960s, the 16th would often be celebrated as Bicycle Day. Hoffman wrote the book, LSD: My Problem Child.
