Collections[]

Exhibits include the Igler Collection of 19th century cycles, arranged to show the evolution of the bicycle from 1860s velocipede to 1890s safety bicycle with pneumatic tires.^[3] The museum has expanded the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame Collection, to include many key bikes in the evolution of the mountain bike and to convey early mountain bike racing and the development of the mountain bike industry.^[4] The museum also includes a selection of 20th century road, track, touring and transportation bikes, a library and archive of cycling books and periodicals, and other related materials and artifacts.^[5]

Organization[]

The museum was founded by Joe Breeze, Otis Guy and Marc Vendetti, all of whom are Mountain Bike Hall of Fame inductees, and other members of an all-volunteer nonprofit organization. The location functions as a cycling cultural center as well as a museum. Breeze said of the project, "It is as much about the future as it is about the past. We want the museum to be the inspiration for cycling for many years to come.”^[6]
