AUBURN — The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum will host yet another classic exhibit as Classic Bicycles Auburn debuts Sunday, Aug. 28.
The new Classic Bicycles Auburn show will include a judged display of vintage lightweight bicycles. The display will feature vintage and custom racing bikes, touring bikes, antique bikes and early vintage mountain bikes. Local bicycle builders will also be displaying their creations.
The event will include vendors selling a wide variety of bicycles and bicycle parts.
The show will include seminars and discussions on the history and present-day construction of high-performance lightweight steel bicycles on Friday, Aug. 26 and Saturday, Aug. 27. Richard Schwinn will deliver a presentation on Aug. 27, highlighting the pre-war Schwinn Paramount Bicycles. At a banquet Saturday evening, with registration open to the public, the museum’s curator will discuss the Duesenberg brothers and their initial experiences building and racing bicycles.
“Many bike enthusiasts also have a passion for vintage automobiles,” said Mike Kone, lead organizer of the new bicycle show. “We think showcasing these lovely machines at the gorgeous Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum will create a perfect outing for anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship and engineering.”
Classic Bicycles Auburn is an independently organized event to promote vintage bicycles, with proceeds benefiting the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum.
Show admission includes entry to the museum; the bicycle show will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28. Admission is $16 for the show.
