🚲 The Day Science Took a Bicycle Ride Into History
April 16, 1943 — the world’s first LSD trip
Most breakthroughs happen in labs. This one happened… on a bicycle.
Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann was studying compounds derived from ergot fungus when he accidentally absorbed a tiny amount of a substance he had synthesized years earlier: lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).
What followed was a two‑hour hallucinogenic journey that changed neuroscience, psychology, and counterculture forever. He described the experience as a “kind of dream world” — and his ride home became legendary as Bicycle Day.
From that moment on, LSD moved from an obscure lab compound to one of the most studied — and controversial — substances of the 20th century.
Today, Hofmann is remembered not just as a chemist, but as the man who unintentionally opened the door to an entirely new frontier of consciousness. Love it or hate it, the ripple effects are still shaping research, therapy, and culture.
