An Exhibit on Bicycle History

An Exhibit on Bicycle History

This exhibit traces the development of cycling technology from its commercial beginnings in the early 1800s to the present. While bicycles are in use around the world, this exhibit focuses on the history of the cycle in Canada and the manner in which Canadians have employed bicycles in their daily lives.
