What an evening! What a book!

We had a fantastic evening with author and Associate Professor Bob McCullough, presenting his book 'Old Wheelways - Traces of Bicycle History on the Land'. About 40 people attended the event at Onion River Sports in Montpelier, and listened carefully as Bob talked about the history of the bicycle, the formation of the first bicyclist's clubs and club houses and the development of 'sidepaths' across the country. In the following discussion one of the main questions raised was: "Why are bicycle clubs and their club houses around any more?"
Following the presentation we sold Bob's book and he signed the copy for everyone personally. If you missed out on this and are still interested in getting your own copy of the book, just shoot us a note and we will make it happen for you.

Velo Vermont would like to thank everyone who came to the event! We hope you had as great a time as we did! Thank you also to Bob McCullough for giving this wonderful presentation. It was fun and an honor to organize this event!
Stay tuned for the next Spring Ride (this time a little less 'vintage' maybe, and more 'adventurous & interesting'.)
