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. The Wheelmen embrace a broad range of bicycle-related activities, centered on the historical aspects of cycling. ![]() Collectors and restorers have salvaged thousands of antique bicycles and preserved large quantities of bicycle memorabilia, literature and other valuable materials of the golden era of cycling. Many Wheelmen have built outstanding collections of cycles that rival the best of museums. The club was founded in 1967 at Hoopes Reservoir, Wilmington, DE, at it's first Official High Wheel Tour by 12 men mainly from the Philadelphia area. Today the club has over one thousand members across the U.S., Canada and overseas. Since our inception, the club has participated in major events such as the 1976 Bicentennial in Philadelphia, the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, TN, and grand parades in New York, Detroit, Washington, Milwaukee and Indianapolis. ![]() The club has established a constitution and by-laws, elected National Officers and State Captains, and appointed Committee Chairmen. In addition to the Annual Meet, there are many Wheelmen gatherings and activities throughout the year sponsored by the various State Divisions that include many of the fore mentioned activities and rides. Periodically, international tours are organized for Wheelmen to attend other gatherings sponsored by the International Veteran's Cycle Association. ![]() Click here for Membership information |
