Explore the early history of cycling in Wisconsin and test your own peddling prowess at this special meeting of the Wheelmen at Old World Wisconsin.
Visit with the Wheelmen and their bicycles and tricycles, watch demonstrations of historic cycling skills and enjoy a Wheelmen parade through the Crossroads Village. Try out your own cycling skills on a stationary high-wheel or peddling a replica adult tricycle around a track. Nick Hoffman, co-author of "Wheel Fever," will talk about the early history of cycling in Wisconsin.
