Vintage bikes from the 1800s fill the inside of Pedalers Bicycle Museum in Springfield - one of the best bicycle museums in the world, right here in Missouri : Ozarks First

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

No one likes bikes as much as the owner of Pedalers Bicycle Museum, James Allen. From the moment he begins talking about them, he lights up with excitement.

“I bought one in 1985 and it just went downhill ever since,” Allen said about his first bike. He said it was a 1937 girl’s bike and that began his collection and obsession with bicycles. “It’s the history part about them and how they were a part of our history for transportation… I liked the high-wheel bicycle from the 1880s. That probably fascinated me more than anything.”

MoBikeFed comment: James has built Pedalers Bicycle Museum into the best and most complete bicycle museum in Missouri - and one of the best in the U.S. and the world.

Be sure to check it out next time you're in Springfield - or plan a special trip, just to see the museum.

It's that good!
