Tips for Visiting Bicycle Museum of America
- Visit on a weekday morning to see displays without school groups; summer weekends are busiest.
- Ask staff about the penny-farthing demonstration-many volunteers will wheel one out for photos.
- Look for the small room of racing bikes from the 1930s-1960s; the paint and patina are the real show.
- Combine a trip with New Bremen's historic downtown and the nearby Brethren church for a full small-town Ohio morning.
