Experience a unique collection of wacky, wonderful, and
workhorse bicycles from around the Bay Area - where mountain biking was born
and road-racing legends were formed. From nostalgic high-wheelers and classic
Sting-Rays to early mountain and road-racing bikes, and bikes used by soldiers
and police officers, you're sure to find many that pique your interest and
inspire you to take a ride!
The exhibit will feature a vintage collection of
bikes including one of the earliest mountain bikes from the legendary Tom
Ritchey. Also on exhibit-the very first bike ridden in 1980 by professional
Greg LeMond, who trained extensively in our area. Wacky bikes include a wooden
one built by a local, Tom Kabat, and a workhorse bike used by the Los Altos
Police Department.
The exhibit runs through October 5, 2014.
