WHEELMEN MEMBERSHIP CARD:
Each paid member is issued a membership
card which shows member name, type of paid membership and member
classification. The member classification is based on whether or not an
official ride has been completed on a bicycle manufactured up to and including 1932. An
Associate classification means the member has not yet completed a tour. A
Voting member has completed an official 10-mile tour often called an
Official High Wheel Tour (OHWT) or Official Antique Safety Tour (OAST), and a Century member has completed an
official 100-mile
ride. |
