We are a 501c3 organization.
Help us spread the word about how awesome bicycles are. You know it, we know it and we have been trying our little hearts out to share our enthusiasm with everyone we meet. We love cycling so much we are working towards constructing a museum dedicated to cycling history here in the heart of Houston’s museum district at Crawford and Calumet.
Imagine a Houston where cyclists are taken seriously and cycling is seen as more than a mere recreational activity. We are learning new things everyday about cycling’s fascinating and often romantic, passionate story and are looking forward to sharing the impact of the knowledge we’ve gained. It’s the best way we know how to do our part to continue to support and grow our city’s cycling community.
Let’s have a central hub dedicated to cycling. Houston is finally ready. We’ve got lots of ideas planned for the space. You can go to the museum to browse collections, learn skills at one of our workshops, hear from and meet master artisans, frame builders, advocacy soldiers, pro riders and people with stories you’ll never be able to read about in a book or on the web during a lecture series. It can be a place for you to have a safe, central meet up for your group ride, meet new groups to ride with, enjoy events or let us help you plan a cycling event or competition on our grounds.
The museum will be for you. It will evolve as the community evolves and that can only mean bigger and better things for cyclists of all kinds.
Please tell people that you want us to hurry up and get this thing built so you can hang out there! Your support is critical and we cannot tell you enough how delighted we would be to know that you want to help.
The goal of the Houston Bicycle Museum is to display collections of antique and classic bicycles as well as exhibiting cycling related memorabilia. The museum will cover the spectrum of cycling beginning at its infancy in the mid 1850's and chronicling its evolution through to the most sophisticated of today. Throughout this journey the museum will provide an informative and educational glimpse of how the bicycle and cycling has influenced our transportation, our leisure activities, our culture, our society, our lives and how, by using the developing technologies of each era, the bicycle has progressed in our ever-changing world. The history of the bicycle is a fascinating story. It is the desire of this museum to bring the pages of that book to life.
