Preserving the past, Promoting cycling in the future



Pierce Miller Collection

The California Bicycle Museum is being created to educate the public about the history of bicycles and the important role they play in our society. The core holdings of the museum are contained in the Pierce Miller Bicycle Collection. This collection spans over 100 years of bicycle evolution between the 1820s and the early Twentieth Century. The collection is currently owned by UC Davis.

UC Davis, the City of Davis, and an avid group of cycling and history enthusiasts are looking for a permanent exhibit space for which the Pierce Miller collection will provide the core of what is planned to be a major bicycle museum.

The California Bicycle Museum is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.

The Museum is based in Davis, California, the bicycle capital of the United States. Davis is the first, and so far only, community to be certified as a Platinum level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists.

To learn more about the Museum, contact info@californiabicyclemuseum.org. If you have vintage bicycling equipment of unique historical value, which you would like to donate to the museum, contact us at donations@californiabicyclemuseum.org.
