I've been there a couple of times. Mostly 19th century through the 6-Day era, but really fascinating. Buffalo was once a great cycling center, both for manufacturing and for racing. Very histoirc city in a lot of ways. Buffalo had a major league baseball team in the late 19th and early 20th century. It also boasts several Frank Lloyd Wright buildings.

Dear Ray.

Thank you for pointing the group to the museum. I have been there twice and WOW.

Further plug is it is a very family (read the non cycling members like it too) friendly place.

The last time I was there was a fashion show that documented the bicycles role in women's fashion and politics.

The BSA section was incredible.

Just be prepared and bring a bib. Drooling on the floor is so uncool!
