Two wheels are better than Four!

Starting in the end of May the Lynden Pioneer Museum will be hosting an exhibit on the history of the Bicycle.

The Bicycle has become ubiquitous among human culture. In China Bicycles are the main cause of traffic jams! Originally invented in the early 1800s they were the primary driver for technologic invention that later allowed the automobile to develop. Such things as pneumatic tires, chain drive, ball bearings and self tensioning rims were developed for the bicycle but later allowed the car to become what it is today.

Bicycles have inspired art as well and we would like to exhibit some of your art bikes. If you are an artist with a unique flair and would like to make a bike for the museum exhibit please let us know. If you own a bike that is more beautiful than practical then we would like to exhibit it!
