Cycle Thru! The Art of the Bike

Public tours are always FREE and meet in the front lobby. Special Ticketed exhibitions are free from 5–8 p.m. every Thursday and do not require tickets. 

Gear up to see a cast iron velocipede designed in the mid-1800s, a 1901 Wolff-American Ice Bicycle engineered to traverse a frozen course, a seafoam green 1950s Huffy Radiobike designed so riders could cruise to their tunes of choice, and Pee-Wee Herman’s customized 1953 Schwinn DX Cruiser starring in Tim Burton’s 1985 film, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.
