There are no known attempts at transcontinental rides in 1888 or 1889 and since the day of the standard high wheel bike was coming to an end, the future of such undertakings seemed uncertain. The question was resolved; however, in 1890 when 5'6" tall Frank E. Weaver made a cross-country trip on a 48" Eagle bicycle.

In 1873, Webb was serving as captain of the steamship Emerald when he read an account of the failed attempt by J. B. Johnson to swim the English Channel. He became inspired to try himself, and left his job to begin training, first at Lambeth Baths, then in the cold waters of the Thames, the English Channel and Hollingworth Lake.
