The bicentenary of the “bicycle” should be the moment to show our best bicycles. When else??
In the last years we hat to regret more and more the absence of good machines. Might be they were difficult to transport or to fragile or for other reasons.
2017 in Karlsruhe will be just the best moment to show what we like the most: good bicycles.
We expect extraordinary bicycles from France, the second (or third) largest highwheel worldwide . (72 inch together with that one which is now in Korea) and the 1 Million Opel Bicycle with a special frame design which doesn’t leave the museum very often.
The registration is now opened but pay attention the available space in the tent and castle is limited to 300 persons.
