Bicycle Museum of America
The museum is organized by era, so you can examine the 1860s velocipedes, the 1880s high-wheeler designs, and the
1886-model bicycle for two. See the record-breaker 1892 Victor, which sold for $130 in a time where a worker's salary was
around $18 a month. The Victor featured interchangeable parts, cushioned tires, and hollow rims. See the legendary 1922
Dalton, built by a company that originally manufactured sewing machines. The museum also affords you a look into the world
of bicycles that never made it to market, such as the 1936 Pedi-Plane Prototype, which stand only 23 inches above the
ground and had twin headlights, and much more.
