Marin Museum Of Bicycling
Spent a few hours at the Marin Museum of Bicycling in Fairfax, Marin County, Northern California. Heavy on Mountain Bike History. A must see if you are in the area.

Awesome! I am reading Charlie Kelly's Fat Tire Flyer. He mentions a lot of the bikes in that museum. Cool to see the pics. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words about my book. I had a request for a signed copy for George W. Bush. I'm pretty far from him politically, but he is a mountain biker. Mr. Bush responded with a very nice handwritten thank you note, which reads:
Dear Charlie,
Thank you for signing Fat Tire Flyer. It is a very interesting history of the sport I love. I'm rollin' as much as my 69 year old legs will allow -- Ride on!

This museum is a real treasure. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of bicycles.
I was also lucky enough to get a tour of the collection from Joe Breeze! He's a fantastic, brilliant guy.
