The bicycle , a 19th century milestone invention, is a story to preserve by chronicling the bicycle evolution of the 1800s to the most sophisticated of today and showing ways its use gave mobility to prior generations to expand their knowledge of distant places. Now a century later we are flying and a scant half century later we are exploring space.
Houston Bicycle Museum opened in 2015 next door to the Holocaust Museum and had a great run thru 2019, when it had to vacate for Holocaust Museum expansion. Although it was successful, it did not reach a financial position to move forward into a leased commercial space. Sadly, the artifacts were placed in storage.
The Houston Bicycle Museum was not an effort that could be supported by a few volunteers, however with the support of the community it can thrive again
