About this event

Bicycle Museum of America - Bike and See Cycle Tour - New Bremen, Ohio


Get your tour ticket and cycle to the Bicycle Museum of America! See the Miami & Erie Canal and beautiful Ohio countryside along the way - and grab a bite to eat at a mom-and-pop small-town restaurant.

Bonus for campers - this tour starts and ends in scenic Lake Loramie State Park which has a beautiful campground.

The Bicycle Museum of America has "nearly 200 bicycles on display... embark on a guided or smart-guided adventure! Learn more about the history of the bicycle and how it helped shape the American landscape through innovation and design." (source: The Bicycle Museum of America)

Though "the Miami and Erie Canal was one of Ohio's most important canals during the mid-nineteenth century" (source: Ohio History Central), today, it is bits and pieces of picturesque history that this tour route catches alongside on the towpath.

This 40% bikeway tour route is a total of 16 miles roundtrip. Some segments are crushed stone towpaths on the Miami and Erie Canal Towpath Trail, while other segments follow the lay of the land along country and neighborhood roads. Your cycle's gear shifter will not see much use on this mostly flat route. Nevertheless, the tour comes with the usual CycleNuts 50% downhill guarantee. Near the midway turnaround spot is a refreshing tasty stop. Note: Admission fees to the museum: Adults – $3.00 / Seniors – $2.00 (closed Sundays)

Points of interest: The Bicycle Museum of America, Miami & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, Lake Loramie State Park, Village of New Bremen, and the Miami & Erie Canal.

  • Goal: to create bikeway touring opportunities for cyclists of all types to enjoy together
  • Mission: to encourage casual cyclists and cyclists interested in casual cycling to tour together
  • Vision: a united cycling community that tours together on bikeway adventures for the holistic benefit of all

  • Picture taking and posing
  • Pacing with the slowest riders
  • Looking at cool stuff along the way
  • And other sorts of tourist activities – as well as unforeseen detours, breakdowns, and delays of various sorts.

Helmets are not mandatory - cycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and unpaved trails. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides. Lights in good working order at all times on CycleNuts tours are a great idea – to be seen and to see!

SAG-free - CycleNuts tours, including travel and over-night accommodations, are self-supported with the slightest of guidance. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices. Emergency road support – if necessary – may be a creative, collective group effort or you may need to fend for yourself. Be prepared with options.

Recommended Gear - A cycle (uni, bi, tri, tandem, E, recumbent, or cycle/trailer rig). Protective gear of your choice. ID. Front and rear lighting. Communication device. Spare tube. Patch kit. Air pump. Wrench kit. Cycle lock. Water. Energy bar. Funds for refreshment breaks and emergencies. Sun screen. Pest repellent.

Recommended Preparation – Pre-check (before you load that bike for transport to the starting spot) brakes, tire pressure, lights, and rideability. Consider what you are wearing on tour and what you may need for changing weather conditions.

Yes – CycleNuts will offer cycling events in all four seasons – what else could be expected from CycleNuts?
