Fun On Two Wheels – A Short History Of The Bicycle
Guest speaker David H. Chinery will take us on a journey from 1815 to 1900, tracing the bicycle’s transformation from the pedal-less “Draisine” to the iconic “High Wheel.”
Beyond the mechanics, we’ll explore how the bicycle sparked a social revolution—changing women’s fashion and offering a new sense of freedom to the masses. Plus, get an up-close look at a vintage 1898 Columbia bicycle and discover the one “modern” feature it’s missing!
