Visit with the Wheelmen and their bicycles and tricycles, watch demonstrations of historic cycling skills and enjoy a Wheelmen parade through the Crossroads Village. Try out your own cycling skills on a stationary high-wheel or peddling a replica adult tricycle around a track. Nick Hoffman, co-author of "Wheel Fever," will talk about the early history of cycling in Wisconsin.

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 manufactured in and before 1932, and encouraging cycling as part of modern living. Members are intent on learning lost skills, retelling lost stories, researching, and writing of the golden era of cycling.
