The Wheelmen is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to keeping
alive the heritage of American cycling, promoting the restoration and riding
of early cycles (1918 or earlier), and encouraging cycling as part of modern living.
This organization follows bicycle development with such types as the Draissine,
Velocipede, Boneshaker, Ordinary (also known as a High Wheeler or Penny Farthing), Tricycle,
High Wheel Safety, Hard Tired Safety, Cushion Tire Safety and Pneumatic Safety (including Tandems
and Chainless models). Many of these antique bicycles were instrumental in The Good Roads Movement
from which America has benefited to this day. This web site is proud to honor all the early cycling achievements
and the people behind them.
