The Maryland Historical Society, in partnership with Baltimore Heritage, is launching a new campaign to win national recognition for Baltimore’s unique place in the history of American bicycling. The Society seeks to raise awareness of Baltimore’s prestigious cycling history through a special-one day exhibition, American Wheels to the Front: The Involution of American Bicycles (1868-today), as well as celebrate our cycling past and present at the ‘Old Timey Bike Fest’ and happy hour on Thursday August 7, 2014.
