Reviews
"What a fascinating museum! So well done. Exhibits are great. The collection of bicycles goes back to the 1800’s. The docent gave us a guided tour and my wife and I were fascinated by everything. Totally worth the visit if you are in the area. Great exhibit on the Repack and the early days of mountain biking."
"Super cool looking place from what we could tell by the window views. Apparently it’s closed for annual renovations until Feb 1 2024. Bummer as we drove 1.5 hours to visit and the summary page of Google did not indicate it was temporarily closed. We should have called first but it was a quick decision to make the trek. Nonetheless, we’ll try for another day."
"Absolutely loved this. There can't be many places in the world that can even imagine giving this sort of experience. Beautiful bikes, good vibes, and got to spend an hour with a living legend, Joe Breeze. Amazing."
"What an incredible place. We got the amazing opportunity of hearing from one of the founders of modern mountain biking- Joe Breeze. What a humble genius! The bikes were top notch and we spent an easy few hours admiring them."
"Amazing collection of vintage and antique bikes, including photos, info and much documentation. The young man working there was very nice, letting me come in to sit (without paying the entrance fee) on a very warm day, and gave me water to drink. I was very impressed by the large collection and spent quite some time marveling at the very old bikes and the beautiful vintage ones. In addition, I especially enjoyed the section on women pioneers in mountain biking."
